Tuesday Un-ku

trying to be creative on half a tired brain
stream of consciousness not
as easy as it sounds

back up to correct spelling
hurts forearm muscle
when did I go fishing?

syrup, slurpee, warm jell-o
pudding, yogurt and tripe
brain simile eludes me

Regina Spektor’s
one song I can stand
is being played too much
(has anyone ever seen
her and Tori Amos together?)

do not have kindle,
DVF wraparound,
career, many teeth left

run, nap, coolant
unclog drain and paint toes
country song in future

should have gone to bed
instead of watching
Rupaul’s Drag Race finale
