Hanging by a Thread

'Cheat on me? I don't think so, Jake.' I thought as I crept out of the side door of the bar to the parking lot. With the tire iron from the bed of his baby blue truck, I left all four tires hanging by a thread.

Hanging by a thread

most days

that's me.

sometimes

it's my

imaginary

doggie gone

walking.

we call her

Creativity.

she's a needle-

nose-plier

on the prowl

in the salvage-

yard on the

industrial

North-side

where nailed

sheet-metal

siding dangles

and substrate-

plywood boards

my would-be

windows-

to-the-world.

I call that

Sleep...

Crest Has Been Shown to Be an Effective Decay-Preventative Dentifrice That Can Be of Significant Value When Used in a Conscientious Program

Each of my teeth

Is hanging by a thread

On top and underneath

Each is dangling from my head

When windy they tintinnabulate

Chiming with chagrin

People with noses abdicate

From the halitosis downwind

I dangle them in chlorine

To one day prepare

For oral hygiene

And regular professional care

The Thread

The other day I found a spider in my car, dangling in front of my face.

Now, driving on the road, something brushes against my leg. I imagine that great hairy legged fella crawling across my lap.

I dare to look.

Only to see my button… Hanging by a thread.
