Spade, A Spade

Never been a people reader
and today, I am no better.
The cloud, now a face, 
and now a short shower
to mud, blinks with the rays.
I open the sketchbook
and try to replicate the drawing
of a spade that made 
a ten years old me proud,
and all my lines wriggle like
the worms beneath a flower bed.


The Profile Photo Has Expired

"You look so depressed." 
They say.
The med 
must have died
in my cabinet.
If I smile 
a hoary feline will lift its face.
A mouse's intestine still hangs 
from the corner of its mouth.
