A Meditation on Mean
An executive decision cutting my work and pay Means
I scramble to survive Meaning
I eat less, delay servicing the car, and cancel the dry cleaning
Sure, I know I'm merely a budgeted item
Meaningless
To management and viewed as no longer
Meaningful
But the faceless "It's nothing personal" feels just plain
Mean
Butterfly Graces
A butterfly graced
The craft compound at church camp
Lightly blessing beads
Calico patches
And the colored boondoggle
Dangling from a post
It tickled bare backs
Explored drying objets d'art
While dancing over glue
Ode to Selfie Mosquito
Selfie Mosquito-
Tiptoeing on a mirror
Tap dancing true love
Beguiled by me-ness
Thoroughly narcissistic
Smitten by image-
Smugly preens in glee,
Smashingly unaware of
Quickly coming death
