An image I posted
on Insta got
749 likes.
I told the cat this as
I cleaned her box.
“749 likes,”
I said again. She jumped
in, peed, got out,
and moved to the next thing.
749 likes
don’t change the fact
that I clean a cat box.

The Real Secret to Beauty
A rose cultivated
in a climate-controlled
greenhouse
may be
beautiful.
But one that
flourishes
after surviving
the harshest of winters
is exquisite.
