egg

Dinny's lost her heart
those sad eyes, that bitter mouth
so much angst to soothe.

Tiny peeping Tom
spying on a teenager
lecherous pipsqueak!

Bask on the hot sand
maybe peek in some windows
dabble in witchcraft.

Existential dog
much too smart to be happy
you need hands for that.

Some hero you are
you're supposed to protect her
not make her save you.

Not good with faces
deaf to office politics
the best water dad.

A feud gone too far
hurting the great-great-grandkids
all for a dumb trick.

Not such a bad guy
torturing is just the job
girls are his passion.

Then: selfish, cash-strapped
now: rich and delusional
trash in both timelines.

Peek behind the scenes
less stoic than you'd believe
but still out of touch.

Blandly full of hate
fixated on a new man
Weldon has issues.

A floating buffet
there's plenty, all you can eat
why not bring the wife?

Just a little nap
sometimes you need a stiff drink
pity David's sow.

They knew it was love
seven minutes in heaven
spooning in the trunk.

Ugly little lives
content in their righteousness
karma, what a joke.

Tending to the hoard
dragon in a crimson gown
no gold, just gossip.

Nearly over now
the case, the world, everything
not much left to save.

Sad eyes, parted lips
don't let that shy look fool you
homegirl wants it bad.

Searching for a cure
old gods, beautiful maidens
the whole gang chips in.

Bud's back on the horse
one bad fall won't keep him down
mad for thoroughbreds.

Merry Christmas, kid
the crows got all the presents
they'll eat well tonight.

Burning space questions
toilet time to life-or-death
the guy loves his job.

Golfers are fickle
swapping engagements like spit
good thing they're all rich.

Your life for his wealth
fair deal for a dying man
they'll be rich back home.

Cares about the world
but seems a little cranky
fed up with bullshit.
