Stars Are for Borrowing
Are You Still There?
A short talk overheard in the dark…
Unseen person from the left: “Are you still there?”
Unseen person from the right: “Yes.”
Unseen person from the left: “But I can’t see you.”
Unseen person from the right: “I’m still here.”
Unseen person from the left: “Did you go away for a little while?”
Unseen person from the right: “No. I’ve been here the whole time.”

All-Seeing Eye
Vain Stupid Omelet
Please do not
make fun of
the words
I used in Scrabble—
vain
stupid
omelet—
as they are better
than my usual
3-letter fare.
The next morning,
at the diner,
the omelet upon
my plate said,
“I’m the most ravishing
thing in here by far,
and I care not one fig
if I don’t know the
capital of California
or the sum of two plus two,
for I am about to die
a most beautiful death
upon this plate.”
