The Black Bobcat
I'm a black bobcat with brown spots
I'm big and tough
spitting out maggots in july
in my grandma's bathroom
at my grandma's house
I'm sick because
I ate a nasty cake
that my grandma cooked

The Square Planet
(with Rectangle Chocolate Chip Ovals)
The square planet has green and purple and yellow aliens
their faces look like flat green paper, they have blue too
with square feet, square zippers
they sleep in square beds with square frog blankets
and read square books as they sit on square chairs
the square planet aliens fly on square ghost ships
with black ghost-shaped polka dots
they ride square racing bikes with gears
fly planes and drive cars
drive on square roads all the way to Santa Rosa
they sometimes eat square bacon and chicken
crackers and bread with square cheese
they eat chocolate ice cream out of cartons
and lots of ice cubes
the square planet smells like a stinky cheese man
and stars and question bars
it smells like cookies, strawberries and barbeque
the square planet aliens grow square vegetables
and grow big trees to make square money
square aliens have square puppies and wild animals too
like high jumping tigers and square butterflies
with pink, white, purple and blue circles
they pick oval flowers, daisies and daffodils
they use square tooth brushes
they have square boxes for their box toys
they take pictures with square cameras
they read maps and build square pyramids

Foot Ball Dog
I'm a football shaped dog
tackling people
at the Point Arena High School football field
during yesterday's game
because I was hungry for people

Zebra
I'm a zebra with black and white stripes
black shoes and a white face
running a hundred miles an hour
to get food in the mountain grass
two thousand years from now
because I want to
and I've never eaten better

Dragon
I'm a red and black, brown blue
orange, grey striped dragon
with a bright red face
running faster than any animal in the world
and shooting flames out of my whole body
699 years from now
going to China
because I want meatballs and spaghetti
ramen and eggs

Box FoxI'm a fox that can fit in a box
picking up a beetle and saying
"Blue Punch Buggy"
in New York
in the middle of winter
because I need some place to sleep

Tiger
I'm a man eating tiger
crunching on every poem I find
down in the city where I see people writing poems
from 12 to 9 every day
because I hate poet writers

Lion
I'm a lion with a long tail
growling loudly in the green jungle
at night
because someone tricked me
and now I will chase them

So Fat Cat
I am a cat that is so fat
playing with green yarn
outside on the porch
in the sun
on Saturday night
because I like to

The Square Earth (Squirma Eartha)
A square planet looks like a desk with a square sky
we walk upside down on a square planet
because of the angles
otherwise we'll fall off its corners
the people who live on a square planet
look like elephants with big box heads
and domino bodies
their hair is like a puffed out puzzle
they have paper eyes and hexagon mouths
dollar bill fingers, five of them on each hand
they wear saddle cloths made from old maid cards
and they play with square girls and boys wearing big square hats
they drive hot rods with square tires
so the ride is bumpy and clunky
they eat water, meat, lions, gum and chicken nuggets
boxes of Chinese food, graham crackers, lasagna
they gaze at square moons and square oceans
they play board games like Candyland
they paint pictures, run in the grass and sleep
they grow square candy apples and have square insects in the ground
they think about square popcorn boxes
the square planet smells like rotten eggs, burned up meat and Chinese cookies
and is full of square roses, trees and flowers
they live in square houses and have square grandparents
the square planet is bumpy when it spins
they don't like it
so they eat the square
