Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

Mister Denton

Weird neighbors are unforgettable

The cats did not understand,
But their stomachs did.
In the days before
He was discovered.

They have since
Quit caring
As soon as they heard
The snap of a tuna can.

The wind only
Understood
That the shouting
Had stopped.

The drippings of the
Mortal remains
Are still entombed
Beneath that
New vinyl floor.

Nobody
Told
The new
Tenants.
