Snow Business

Snow Business

an Arctic cold front
Amazon trucks stuck
down snow-packed side roads

but that was 2022
this year
the winter is mild
that low January sun
illuminating the dust under the sofa
and that kid’s toy from Christmas
that no one could find.

south of the border
the president is obsessed with Greenland
there’s no business like snow business

he says

but Greenland
where all the brass monkeys sing soprano
and Ice has a different meaning
is a long, long way from Mar-A-Lago

Over at dverse the prompt is “snow”.

Muskerberg and The Toddler King

Muskerberg and The Toddler King

The rough beast is leaving Bethlehem
Musk Ox and Meta Morf
joined at the hip
their android stares
fixed on the horizon
slouching into twenty twenty five.

And all across the world
lonely men light up their lap tops
and search for unverified facts
formerly known as “lies”.

Meanwhile the Toddler King sleeps soundly
dreaming that he’s on an ice floe
off the coast of Greenland.
In the dream he owns that ice floe
and seals honk
in what he interprets to be approval.
