Espresso Theorem
every truth fits into a cup as small as a thimble
provided you drink it fast
and don’t ask who brewed it

The Photograph
we were both smiling
for someone else’s camera
it took me years
to notice
our hands weren’t touching

on the guest bed
long after you left
as if neatness

Citrus Diplomacy
In my fruit bowl,
The orange won’t speak to the grapefruit … again.
Says it’s something about his tone.
The pear’s pretending not to listen,
wrinkling its skin in sympathy.
We sit there too …
polite, pithy, and slightly bruised.

In ancient Rome, damnatio memoriae, the “condemnation of memory,” was the ultimate punishment. Names were chiseled off monuments, faces scratched from frescoes, and the person was consigned to what amounted to non-existence.
