Frisbee dog. Stealth the cat. Read more. Cut toenails. Less wine. Bind the ties. Avoid mirrors. Divide water. Invoke irony. Vacuum Yesterday. Avoid forever. Milk thoughts. More wine. Stir up. Stir down. End a dark day. Follow oxygen down the street. Care a rat's ass. Say desire. Scatter con•tem•pla•tion. Feed instincts. Assimilate resistance. Skin normal. Push words. Rewind God. Bend re•frac•tion. Undo plots. Spine spirit. Tremble blood. Hands up. Cascade dreams. Avoid suppose. Freeze Hell over. Knot despair. Tempt metaphor. Fudge Truth. Find your story. Surround ambivalence. Forget tomorrow.

A "list" prose poem. Started from a frisbee tossing session with my male frisbee-crazy whippet. The piece has recently been published in an ezine called Melancholy Hyperbole:
*
I like this a lot.*
Nice Ed! Now get busy with your list of to-do's...
Whippet good, Ed!
Excellent, Ed. "Rewind God" is my favorite. " Cascade dreams" a close second.
*
Yep.*
"Cut toenails" loses more of its charm year by tomorrow-forgetting year. Always seems to end up next to ambivalence surrounding on my list. *
Good piece.
Indeed!*
