Crazy Cat Lady

I’m a crazy cat lady

I nail crazy cat stuff to the church bulletin board

And take refuge under the sheets

Of the ghost I will become

Like a cat, when I die, you’ll understand

That the soul lives forever

But it thrives in captivity



Hockey Poem

I’m playing hockey

I’m number 87

The crowd is going crazy

They’re throwing stuff on the ice

It’s so loud I can’t hear coach yelling at me

Time is running out

Soon, I will be champion

Soon, I will pour champagne

Into coach’s sad eyes
