Two Poems by Howie Good

5/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Howie Good is the author most recently of Stick Figure Opera: 99 100-word Prose Poems from Cajun Mutt Press. He co-edits the online journals Unbroken and UnLost.

Week At a Glance
Sunday stitches eyelids shut. Monday gesticulates with the soggy, chewed-up
end of a cigar. Tuesday loses a crap job

and never finds another near as good.
Wednesday hangs itself in the shower.
Thursday, when asked, can’t explain it.

Friday tosses and turns under glow-in-the
dark ceiling stars. Saturday tries to get
in the door without the dogs going crazy.



Irreverent Juxtapositions
1
“Last name?”
”Good”
”How do you spell that?”
”Like God, but with two o’s.”


2
I could have been an artist,
drawn stick figures on toilet paper
you never know.


3
Be water
Blossom everywhere
