short forms 27th February 2017

morning
the dead awaken
reluctant for college
they'd rather eat pizza and play
consoles

morning blue
washed away with dirty rag
a frenzy of swifts

private prisons
returned by Cheeto Pres
tax dollars for buddies
It becomes profitable
to punish infractions

pick rucksack
carried by yawning girl
schoolward bound

her walk carefully timed
to avoid playground bullies
and locker-room taunts

snail paced

weight loss. One stomach fades away
