Here are a couple of the poems:

"Marigold Is an Herb and I'm in the Mood to Marry"

Marigold is an herb and I'm in the mood to marry
(I won't say you this time). It won't be like
That winter we lived with The Pill Book, me
Trying to describe my episodes to you.

What does that one do? It thins out my wallet.
Get bubble wrap, was all you could say to me
One morning from a self-induced trance. I told you
Much more important things like, Johnny Bench

Had every one of his toes broken by foul tips
On separate occasions. You don't remember specifics
But when you came to you wanted to order
Thong socks from the footwear catalogue.

You still had a sex drive afterwards.
But it was only for yourself
And your showerhead.

"My Indoor Life"

I've scoured twelve countries,
Laid twenty-six
Blackbirds to rest,
Slept in motels on
Tomato sauce sheets.
If the weather turns
I'll freeze. I've spent

Night after night with my
Memo pad and golf course pencil.
Archaically, I've insisted on anent
Instead of concerning.
I've mooched and cadged for
Room to breathe and used
Shale for party decorations when

Fissile rock proved impermanent.
The involuble Zelda Zonc was never
Alliterative enough to my ears and so
I sought to make my own name
A grand repetition. I may have
Even stumbled upon a cure for
Your most persistent ailment.
