I'm hosting the June Flash Fiction Carnival over at the Flash Fiction Carnival 2008 blog. Sharpen your pencils, (scrape off your palimpsest if you need to) and head on over.
Chihuahua trembling -
all the giants in the street
want to pinch her cheek.
Hungry and thirsty,
the daily wage worker smiles -
weekend forecast rain.
Laughing bus driver -
the sun shines through the swinging
windshield wiper blades.
Cubicle chained, the
eco-warrior ponders -
fast food or pizza?
Keep doing what you're
doing, the world is your toy -
when it breaks, game ends.
Narrow winding road,
fog, covering mountain tops -
just another drive.
Picking violets
for her lover far away -
voices on a phone.
