i'd prefer
hibbing over gary
any time

speed limits
in chicago are
nothing but a joke

from the beach the
pacific doesn't look much
bigger than lake michigan

no swimming
but drowning
is allowed

everyone has his
brown recluse story,
fortunately i don't

let's go south
til the temp reads 70F
and don't stop sooner

between bullfrogs and
dairy farms i met a
gunslinging nurse and her folks

do they still
have the snow poles out
or already?

turnovers are
better eaten
leaning forwards

i hope
i don't start
to like wind
