Dear 311,

I would like to grow this tree I bought from the union square green market on my head. Are there any special permits the City requires when I do this? How about tax credits?

Sincerely,

Rufus

I keep cheddar cheese
Goldfish in my bag
Every so often when I’m feeling
Listless I put my hand in
My bag and touch the goldfish
I know each one by their
Curves and whether they
Have been partially eaten
Sometimes when things get
Really tough at work I bring
The bag into meetings
My colleagues think I’m
Looking for a pen or a paper
When I reach into the bag
But I’m really singing
Quiet songs like twinkle twinkle
Because that’s what they
Like the most.

He says that I’m too emotional
But that’s just because I say
I love him every chance I get
I know he goes out with his
Boys on Friday night
And comes back smelling like
Liquor and weed
At least though he’s not smelling
Like perfume
I don’t care that I have
To leave him alone over
The weekend
I want to give him his space
That’s the fair thing to
Do and I won’t even sweat him
For a few dollars every month
When this baby comes

This book has all the names
I found it in a tree
On seventy fourth street
And central park west
I was climbing and a racoon
Brought me in his flying frisbee
To the top of the El Dorado
And showed me how to
Read Jesus talk
Now I’m fluent and
I have all the names
Dare I say we make
Quite the lethal combination

My left shoe
Rests in my closet
With my red tie
Temperature controlled
You can say I take good
Care of them
But at times like these
When the weather is so
Close to summer yet
Cool and brisk like fall
I take them both out
Just to trick them
Into thinking they
Missed summer
