I Saw A Pig IN The A@P
        G David Schwartz
I saw a pig at the A@P
He sat there just starring out at me
gave him a notice to be sure
I wouldn't eat him, I am kosher

My Mustache Doesn't Feel Bad
        G David Schwartz
My mustache does not  feel bad
My mustache does not feel good
I even forget its there
Whenever that I could

If I Say My Memory Is Good
        G David Schwartz
If I say my memory is good
That just goes to show
My memory is so horrid
That I don't even know

With Tonsils In My Mouth
        G David Schwartz
With tonsils in my mouth
They are difficult to get out
So think a bit about this
But them in your hips

Maya

by Ross Vassilev

sitting at the window
looking up at the trees rustling in the wind
while Uncle Sam jinnies up a new war
in the Persian Gulf
a war that could wipe out everything
and everyonewith the push of a button

so it's important to enjoy every second

of the butterfly's flight
and admire each leaf as though it were the last.

Sun = Sense = Less

My thought is ÷ by the waves’ echoes

+ing to the background noise inside

my head.  The miniscule % chance

of [b]rain is unlikely

                                  & irrelevant as I

love to dance b/w its

            drops

anyway.

B-4

suffocating in the smoking area, her sister refusing

her the glass divide of pro-offered isolated reprieve,

she tentatively listens for the initiating

echoes of the omniscient

voice:  a nameless mouth . . .

B-15

Seconds later her hand responds.  An automatic hammer

motion translating this gaming code into gobs

of day-glo goo marring dingy numbered papers strangely

referred to as cards . . .

B-8

The search begins for a straight-line

single, a crazy kite, the elusive

large picture frame . . .

B-2

A titter of excitement rustles through this crowd of broke

n dreamers.  She feels the stolen

glances from across this stain-tortured table.

“You are jealous of my B-filled card,” she says not needing

to reciprocate the autonomous ogling to know her sister

‘s cards are sparsely beyond hope.

B-11

Another match, another stamp, another dirty

look.  Impervious

as another ball is pulled.  She breathes

[only] for the caller . . .

B . . .
