The plastic grocery sack/
floating on Utah Lake/
became a death trap/
for the curious/
foraging muskrat./
So why did we laugh?/
What a horrible way/
to die like that,/
drowning
in a grocery sack.

There are women who/
feel heartache even as they/
make men’s hearts take flight.
You know rev’rence is/
poor when you want to go to/
the hall. It’s quiet.
She stood, beautiful,/
not knowing she was. He could/
just repeat the truth.
Are you capable/
of loving truly? Always?/
Then you deserve it.
When I’m quiet, I/
could be hurting, or maybe/
blissfully happy.
If I don’t write poems/
for her, that don’t mean nothin’/
‘ceptin’ that I’m tired.
