Date Night
It would improve
my husband’s mood
if sushi weren’t
my favorite food.
Maybe I should pitch this query:

for nigiri.
Facts of Life
A whale’s tongue weighs as much as an elephant.
Nobody knows where the dinosaurs went.
Your foot’s the length of elbow to wrist.
The sky is blue. I’m glad you exist.
