UNFOLDING A KNIFE LIKE A BEAUTIFUL FAN

Even the most blunt
sarcasm can sever
— but not so much
similes & metaphors.

That’s life.

     

COWBOY WATERLOGUE

My gun holster 
is holding up 
my underwear. 

What can I say? 
I'm shy.

     

OFF INTO THE SUNSET

I'll tell you where
you can stick it.

     

WAY OUT WEST

A nervous horse paces the deck 
of a cruise ship.

The bikini models lounging 
by the pool are in a better mood.

But the horse's lonely rider 
thinks only of Japan 
& seeing his robot wife again.
