Congratulations! They've accepted your offer.

The lady on the other side isn't well. 

So he says. 

It's terminal. 

There's a man living hats up on a wall,

harnesses and wigs, kitty litter.

He could burn the house down.

Or he could bake me cookies. 

A refrigerator in the middle of a bedroom

hums the contents of frozen meat.

Four lanes are more abrasive than two.

A few trees and you're good to go.

Remembering Chair

Because the world is feeling extra prickly, I'm on a mission to dry out dampened joy, to shield cortisol from blazing through veins, to illuminate broken down whispers and songs. Let's not forget to acknowledge what's incredible. To balance out turmoil with a heavy hug. The earth still hums and holds us despite our smothering taunt. I can smell it wafting hellos through my window this very minute.

Ringing in the ears (found poem)

Chinese interpretations for specific times when we experience a sound that goes…”ngee” in our ears.

11pm – 1am

If there is ringing in your left ear, this means that your girlfriend or loved one is thinking of you. If in the right ear, then you will lose money.

1am – 3am

In the left ear, this means you will have a quarrel. In the right, then you will have a more serious dispute.

3am – 5am

If there is ringing in the left ear, this means you will lose some money. If the right ear, then you will be rushed off your feet.

5am – 7am

In the left ear, this means you will have a feast. If the right ear, then a friend will come to visit.

7am – 9am

If in the left ear, this means you will go on a journey. If the right ear, then a friend is on its way.

9am – 11am

If there is ringing in the left ear, this means a negative incident may happen. If in the right ear, then all is well (luck is coming).

11am – 1pm

In the left ear, this means that you will receive a letter from far away (hmmm…wonder how this would apply in this modern Internet age these days?). If the right ear, then a relative will come to visit.

1pm to 3pm

In the left year, this means you will have a drink or a feast (party). If the right ear, this means a friend from far away is coming.

3pm to 5pm

In the left ear, this means you are going on a journey. If the right ear, then you can expect a happy event.

5pm – 7pm

In the left ear, this means you will lose money. In the right ear, then you are in for good luck.

7pm – 9pm

If in the left ear, this means you will have a feast. If in the right ear, then a friend is on its way.

9pm – 11pm

In the left ear, this means good luck. If the right ear, then feasting will come your way.
