Wonder

Michael'simoji's

I wonder who’s kissing him now?
licking his wounds?
cutting his toenails?
caluses?
sweeping his crumbs?
trimming his beard?
manicures?
buying his socks?
laughing at his jokes?
stocking his pantry?
paying Verizon?
buying the gas?
trusting him each day?
understanding?

I wonder.

Socks?

with hooves kicked high-draped in socks

Inside the Box

redbox
Inside the box
are lox
for breakfast.

And socks
for hiking
on rocks.

And blocks
of colored
wood.

There are fox:
non-tox-
ic wild ones

inside the box;
they’ll eat the lox,
the socks, the blocks:
and then the box.

All I’ll have left
is bites of box
and fox!
