168.365 - everywhere I look, humor dances

the moon holds hands with an astronaut
who is searching his mission manual
for this unexpected circumstance

a cat and a dog
who don’t even like each other
dine together in a fancy restaurant

a little boy ties teaspoons in his sister’s hair
while she pins a sign on his shirt’s back
behind them, Escher smiles

the newspaper announces
yet another war has begun
I wonder where this one was waiting

a jetliner trails a banner
we can’t read because it is shredding
and the letters have each parachuted away

someone dressed like a frogman
walks out of a neighborhood lake
and is arrested for improper attire

a man in a tuxedo
bends over from improbable height
to scold a small boy playing in mud

on my desk my laptop keeps shifting
avoiding my fingers
while I try to record these
