Three Poems

 HER MOM ASKS ME TO GIVE THE BLESSING
  
 Around the table, everybody
 Looking at me side-eye
 There’s this kind of almost
 Yeah.
 Yeah yeah yeah.
 So I’m like
 Rub a dub dub
 Thanks for the grub. 
 LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING RIGHT QUICK
  
 Your choice of ringtone explains a lot about your style and personality. 
 Studies show. Everyone I know?
 They’ve all profoundly reinvented themselves.
 A pint of Fireball in Pay Lot 3
 Has become an increasingly popular form of treatment.
  
 Life? I’m over it. Not my jam.
 The outcome is more preexisting than pro wrestling,
 And nowhere near as entertaining
 Unless it’s women. Even so
 I’m putting in for a transfer to a different department.
   
 AS SURE AS SIX IS FIVE PLUS ONE
  
 There’ll be some kid,
 Some Judi or Jared
 Some Karman or Carmen,
 Some Linh or Lynne,
 Signaling, 
 Triggering,
 Monkeying around.
