All Ducks Look Alike

All Ducks Look Alike – Ben Tripp

another short story manifests

when a tickle like you

complicates my icththyo-

(from the belly-up) perspective,

you joke

about a navel approach, others have moved in

they dip a beak

to reveal a certain something,

common as the flight-plan,

of ducks jockeying for this.

My Teeth Shine as Bright as My Heart

“My Teeth Shine as Bright as My Heart”

Girls, you’ve seen your teeth shine in a mirror

while clacking them against his. True,

everything went wrong. Fumblng.

A picture that we carry, I say, “just a flame

that’s lost its glow.”

Along the sodden churls’ travels

girls confabulate.
