A Poem by Mike Cluff


    Pieces


              I.

bonsai tree
centered in mid-museum
grows alone.


            II.

main thoroughfare
a tennis shoe equilateral
to staring headlights


        III.

a bit of brick
embedded in tire tread
and burqa now slightly moist.


      IV.

a pepper switch
behind the diploma
Junior never displays


          V.

jacaranda shits down its flowers
onto my freshly pressed suit, cleaned car,
I will chop it down with relish.


        VI.

plywood tree house
draped in flag
confederate in nature.
