we should’ve got off when we could
now all we can do is hold tight
and hang on to the brightly
painted memories and hope
that the ride doesn't end before
we do. who knew life would
turn out to be such a carnival?

I forgot the rules again
sixty four squares and I’ve
been pushed on each several times
knowing I should move forward
or backward and yet stuck, wanting
to see the move that finally
checkmates.

does a garden in the head count?
there are a couple of dead
sunflowers and a dying bougainvillea
that I keep propping up with pieces
of past and bits of string. maybe if I faked a
smile... they say plants like happy people.
