Longer than short
Shorter than long
Unremarkable

If I were to name a town
I’d call it “Near Portland”
More unique than South Portland
And more confusing

I’d rather get up at 3:30
Than go to bed at 3:30
To be clear I’m talking AM

Was that a board game
Or a bored game
Ohhhhh!!!!!

When looking for an anonymous pickle
At the hospital
Just ask the receptionist for a Dill Doe

Would you like a piece of gum
No thanks
I’m feeling full

Tap House

New tap house
New wood finishing that looks old
New customers
Used to go somewhere else
Last year we all went somewhere else
Now it’s fun to go here
There’s free Wi-Fi and a good tap list
And cool stickers
Doesn’t take much to feel like fresh air

Bottom Shelf

Sometime downtown
Alone at a bar
Look in the mirror behind the bar
Watch the people
Peaking out behind the bottom shelf
Talking drinking eating
And the eyes staring straight back
From behind the bottom shelf

Dear Fruit Snacks

When fruit snacks become a souvenir
Painted miniatures housed in a globe
I was still young
We all were
The day it happened
The day holding them
Felt like holding onto a memory
Can it ever be like it never changed
Or is the berry magic gone forever
A future Facebook pop-up
Rip Van Winkle’ing my feed
