fart like no one is smelling

the morning ritual
hugging a strong half full coffee cup like
a golden prodigal newborn
right now at the ranch
there's nothing more

television cat calls
live nude chicken dancing politicians
slipping on banana peels
more at eleven
nobody waits

i pack a half sandwich
celebrity second world tips and tricks
happiness is losing weight
ice cream slut shaming
look out for drones

    Loved the honesty and the imagery of this. Well done. Loved the title too.

    How aptly you illustrate the morning news circus. I rarely turn it on to avoid the three rings.

    Very nicely done. Absurd imagery that isn't so absurd after all.

    Why do some people announce it when they let one rip? In a group of people, nobody's gonna know for sure it was you--so why not just take your chances with an angelic look on your face? (Unless they know YOU'RE the one who had the bean burrito.)

    Quick and snappy pace. You're right, if it wsn't good at six, nobody will watch at 11. News has become too much hot air, and maybe the tie in to your title. Nice advice. Excellente

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
