The Prisoners

“This can’t be happening?!” Froggy John cried.

“I can’t believe she hung us out to dry like this! Where’s God? Where’s my agent?” Baby Ducky moaned.

Momma Ducky remained quiet.

Fearing the worst, Baby Ducky quacked, “You okay back there, Momma D.?”

“Sure! Once we’re nice and dry, why we’ll be back with little Abe in his playpen again!”

Cornered in Sam’s Club

Under the glare of warehouse light
steel-eyed commerce crisscrossing
vaulted space above while below
we, in well-trammeled lanes, forage
with brandished carts loaded,
swallow claustrophobic desire
stretch Ali Baba eyes to needful things
as La-Z-Boys race past
iWant-slick bling-gadgetry —
only to be stared down by a winged unicorn:
unflurried pinkness, nestled wonder
in small chubby arms.
