After two weeks of recovering from hitting a deer, lots of car-hunting and conversations and insurance, etc. , I’m happy to introduce my new-to-me Honda CR-V. Named Neko, I think.

A new #chaoschaplain poem
A ragdoll and cat holding this poem: THE CHAOS CHAPLAIN APPLIES A VERSE FROM THE PROPHET JEREMIAH “Be appalled, O heavens, at this, Be shocked, be utterly desolate” both Is and is not relevant to the Christmas tree Still up almost four weeks past Epiphany; which supposedly brings bad luck Which will just have to mingle with All the other bad lucks currently in play. Quoting Jeremiah quoting the Lord is just Broadly, unfortunately, germane now.

Self-portrait in fabric. Still deciding what to do for face and shoes
Weird doll I made as self portrait. Torso is square. Hair is white and gray yarn and burlap twine. Dress is wool plaid with buttons down center. Face is blank

Moments with my son—like when the Memphis Cardinals walloped the Iowa Cubs and then a different kind of deluge happened

poem called "The Chaos Chaplain Shares a Recipe." Poem: That one uncomfortable emotion slash awkward moment you jammed into a wad, a snowball, a couple, a popcorn ball of gallstone and sticky resentment, which now lists your solar plexus as an address, yack it up like a hairball and watch it inflate so fast it floats away. If it insists on staying grounded, sprinkle it with mullet for the devourers. All your awfulness become bird and squirrel. Poem appears in a white square surrounded by cross-hatch pattern and chartreuse and black squares.

Poem called "The Chaos Chaplain Gets the Band Back Together." Poem: The Lord & I’d agreed to take some time apart a few years ago, but I guess we’re back on speaking terms again though I don’t have much to say other than if the way I meet my death is emerging from behind the disc that hides the future (allergic reaction to tear gas during a protest moving up in the rankings), Jesus what in the world is there to say. Poem is in a white box surrounded by cross-hatch pattern and chartreuse and black squares.

When the poets down here don't write nothin at all, they actually do write something:
Poem entitled, "The Chaos Chaplain Offers a Prayer in the Manner of the Prophet Jeremiah" Poem: O fuck this shit. Like, seriously. Fuck. This. Shit. (graphic design is crosshatch pattern in black surrounded b y chartreuse and black squares)
