Obstacle
A
match stands.
When
you are kind and smooth and meet the match
nothing.
When
you are harsh and rough and meet the match
a
light spark.
When
you are harsh and rough and brush by the match
ignition.
I
am the match.
My flame burns.

Steven
Seagal
I was walking one day.
When Steven Seagal jumped out in front of me.
He said, "I'm Steven Seagal, give me all of your money."
Was this really Steven Seagal? I knew how to find out.
If he was Steven Seagal, he would know his own moves.
So I did a triple backflip over him.
He seemed quite confused. First clue.
I extended my hands and grabbed his cranium.
He seemed quite shocked. Second clue.
With a twitch of my biceps I cocked his head to the right.
The crack in his neck spoke for itself.
He became limp and fell to the ground.
He seemed quite dead. Third clue.
That was definitely not Steven Seagal.

Ode
to Monkey
oh monkey, it makes me
Wary.
when I try to write an
ode using the Dictionary
but what is an Ode?
some may say it is
words driven fourth from deep within one's Soul
some may say it is Pure
feeling, with no consequential Goal
some may say it is a
noun, A Lyric Poem Usually Marked By Exaltation Of
Feeling And Style
Varying Length Of Line And Complexity Of Stanza Forms.
but monkey, though you
are merely a nonhuman primate Mammal,
you Inspire me.
