anonymous survey conducted by firedrill

here is your paper bag
here are your exits
the closest is yes
the furthest is no
ignore the question
it's only for show

and oh by the way this isn't a survey
and oh by the way this isn't a drill

coagulate

today's poem, courtesy of get your poem on at http://readwritepoem.org/

i need two to coagulate
lest i pool on the floor
flow under the door
alert the landlady

if you don't want that i suggest you comply
supply

a corpse would do
not rancid but new

lie down and rest
it is all for the best

patience

today's poem

patience
eludes me
i cannot feel
its beauty

my mind is as still
as the velvet blue
of a butterfly
