The New Kind of Tarantula

The new kind of tarantula
is more like a scorpion
that is smarter than you.

Hitch-hiking on an asteroid
and then a meteor
and then your leg
in your car.

Putting wild ideas into your head
like let go of the wheel
but you resist
parked in your driveway
with snow falling
flake by flake
until the mound in the driveway
becomes a tomb.

Suspended animation
for the both of you.

More exploring will springtime bring.

Gallery of Symbiosis

Curt Fedder passes
Kurt Fedder unknowing
on a street while a slender woman
admires both.

And as they enter the same establishment
a coffee shop demon
hogging two chairs
for his stupid laptop case
and his lazy stupid leg

pre-empts them from ever finding out
as they both order to go.

No Wolves

A soundless pack
energy from a sun
on the other side of the Earth
and bounced off the moon.

An unseen encirclement
as I centered on
my snack.

Now soil is nourished
by spilled bodily fluids
and muscles run
to celebrate
teamwork.

How Often is Never?

When a bicycle chain
stops the klackity sound of ball bearings
sprockets jump
in a soundless attempt
of regaining favor,

and the sudden inclination
of Earth and self
leads to motivation
and speed
and faith.

The Fanfare Never Ceases

As I emptied my bed
the alarm filled my head
until a foreign sound from the toaster
filled the room's high reaches
with black smoke from a white
English muffin.
And an unwanted text message
emerged from the shelf
sending me back to bed
"you are fired" it said.
A hated alarm
to be missed.

Argon Gas Leak in the Lab

A team of the sorrowful
no longer wags
because there is no one to come home.

The labradoodle and black lab
noses in empty dishes
look up with a ferocity
brought on by hunger and sun.

Carelessness at work
sketches in another victim
as a silent killer leaks out
The mailman leaps to the truck
gate left open
Now they
are gone.
