Evening Primrose
Wish
The nameless little chicken was roughly thrust headfirst, upside down, into a silvery funnel. When her head abruptly poked through the narrow end, she frantically thought, “Was my wish to get to the other side really a good enough reason?” But then, as all physical sensation escaped and her spirit began ascending into a beautiful, very bright light, she wondered with heightened excitement, “Well now, what’s on the other side of that road?”
Snack
With ice in her voice, she said, “It’s the wrong knife, you dolt…and where’s the wine?
Calmly, deliberately, almost in a whisper, he replied, “You doubt the effectiveness of a very sharp boning knife?”
Ghost
A ghost of time
Long past
Broken down
A volunteer
Holds a key
An anachronism himself
He offers a tour
An unmarked building
Broken down
A hidden Museum
Ancient ghosts
And fine Texas dust
