1
That gargoyle we kissed
when we were drunk and in love:
Someone stole its head.

2
Wonder of wonders
a penny fits perfectly
in my wedding ring

3
All alone at the
fire station sitting by the
ringing telephone

4
The schizophrenic
steadied the blade and murdered
all nine of his selves

5
All alone at the
fire station sitting by the
ringing telephone

6
Father died last year
If he were still alive I'd
wear my hair shorter

7
watching carefully
hearing this music played by
similar women

8
grandpa-man looking
at the girl who grandma was
he still loves her eyes

9
The intense chagrin
of meeting a pretty girl
at a funeral.
