#Micropoetry Neu-Veaux

Like a surprise, happy ending to a long, sad movie, life delights me now. 

In my dream

he wore a short-sleeved shirt
to be Sergio for me;
he wore a long-sleeved shirt
to be Saul for his wife.


I caught a glimpse

of myself, Sergio said.

How I treated you. I was the rusty old plane on the tarmac.   

Instead of boarding the flight to Havana,

I went home to my parents instead.

That’s how you keep me, my dear

I mistake pity for love

Pirates of old 

aren't the only ones who hoard gold.
Now financial advisors store off-shore
Wall Street loot in vacant island homes
where squatters sleep in the beds
and leave black stains in bathrooms
where the water has been turned off for months.

Record markets

Banksters playing

the money spin game 

in one last mad dash 

for their private stash of cash

before the next crash

Ten Six-Word Stories

Submitted to the #6wordmiami contest for the Miami Book Fair International

Parachute for Sale. Used Once. Unopened.

Stork flies. Woman cries. Baby arrives.

Bike wheels. Car brakes. Ambulance sirens.

Candy house. Witch home. Oven on. 

I’m on top, Adam, Lilith said.

The woman turned into a swan.

Inanna hears the cries of Ereshkigal.

Men brought her sorrow and misfortune.

Narcisistic womanizers. Like father, like son.

In the end everybody dies. Always. 

Why There is Hunger in the World

In the beginning, people reached to the sky above and took what they needed to eat. The sky tasted like ripe papaya, moist cinnamon cake, spicy tacos. Every one ate well.

One day some taller people got together and thought, “We can trick the others and make ourselves powerful.” They picked food from the sky and presented it in a pretty square box. “It’s so convenient!” the tall people said. “Our food will make you more beautiful not having to work so hard reaching for the sky! Get your food from us! The price? Give us whatever you have!”

The shorter people brought them their possessions. They forgot about the sky and to look up. Now they only looked down at their hands and the exchange for food and possessions. Eventually their possessions ran out and they grew hungry. The tall people kept their secret. To this day, world hunger remains.
