The Premise of a Party


8 0'clock is a better start than 7,
never start at 7
a real blunder, bigger than you'd imagine,
sitting stout and still
like a potted plant on the windowsill.
a threatful corner of the room
the twin peaks theme music in my head,
a black hole opening up
enveloping everything,
including untimely guests.

artichokes have warmer hearts

Dog walkers beware
when they walk past and they will see me
crawling the room like a caterpiller
counting every square foot.
turning into an insect and eating fruit
Guests will get the shock of their lives
and maybe it would teach them to arrive on time.
