Caught Muskrats

by Channie Greenberg


Muskrats, caught in traps, continue to make a difference, at shekels per day.
Bank accounts, simultaneously hiding intestines, though, resolve no conundrums.
Private rooms, also circles’ memberships, might or not prove beyond that realm.

Whenever being helped up a building’s front steps, one ought to curtsey.
Simply, discovered ruses tend to send multiple emails to outworlder patrons.
Self-reflective moments, alternatively, become privy to most live thoughts.

Plus, following residential questions makes for sieved agencies, lost sheep farts.
Choice gets implicitly taught by explicated moments more than odd circumstances;
Unresolved responses notwithstanding, nearly all minor league pitchers strike out.

Should you desire to expose condemnatory feelings, not only will birdsong fail,
But, additionally, homeless teenagers will, after a manner, act in kind. Great fireballs
Blaze first in upper atmospheres, then, only later, drift across continents.
