storm
i drove my auto through the night
one blustery winter’s eve
the gusts gave press with all their might
i scarcely could believe
just when my arms were near to break
from tugging on the wheel
i spied a falling white snowflake
(at least i did so feel)
but as it neared the roadway shale
that dot grew much in size
and turned into a stone of hail
before my very eyes
i tried to swerve and miss its path
but it could not be done
it struck my hood with such a wrath
the shot rang like a gun
i stopped the car and out i went
needing to look twice
at the big, bashed bagel-shaped dent
and onion-sized ball of ice

A Less-Than-Famous Love Letter From Kilmainham Gaol
Molly, oh Molly, I’ve been a damned fool
an utterly mad imbecile
I’ve left you unmarried, unloved and alone
while on onion bagels I’d fill
But now that I’ve said it, it seems not insane in fact I feel it’s well thought through For bagels awaken a new love each day — unchained and unfettered by you

Jet-Lagged Bagels
Stiff crusts
Bleary onioned
Puffy bags beneath their holes
Trying to serve themselves for dinner
