poem: stressed out, undressing, relief comes with sleep

stressed out, undressing, relief comes with sleep
personal promise (I swear I won’t keep)
pile of books looking good on the shelf
borrow their wisdom and wizen myself

poem: certain synapses engaging

certain synapses engaging
enraging!
working our way to relief
pinning our hopes on these “jokes”
that we’re floating
pay me and leave me in peace

sketch: whaddaya mean cooties?

crude mono trace of a nude female figure bent with her arms akimbo-ish?

poem: closer to shifting the scope of our notions

closer to shifting the scope of our notions
good news beginning to brew
jabs in the arms of the ones we call closest
painful pandemic is through!
