I have two poems — Are Fish Psyquatic? and Plant Shepherd — in Water Me Well, a limited edition of 50 chapbooks just published by Green Panda Press.

This is part of an effort to raise money and awareness for Isaac’s Wells, a project to provide clean drinking water for African villages.

Water Me Well also includes work by Ron Antonucci, Diane Borsenik, Bree, John Burroughs, Kevin Eberhardt, John Harmon, Richard Krech, Tom Kriss, Mark Kuhar, Geoffrey Landis, d.a. levy, Kenneth Patchen, Ray F Tomorrowitz and Beverly J. Wilcox.

Are Fish Psyquatic?

Water Gods are all wet
Water Gods are big drips
Water Gods have plumbers for devils
Water Gods are fun to sleep with when heated
Water Gods are wishy washy
Thou shalt have no other Chlorinations before me
Some Gods are afraid to come out of the water closet
God drops keep falling on my dead
God’s evaporated
Water Gods have wet dreams
Water Gods don’t no enough to come in out of the reign
Water Gods mist the ship

Plant Shepherd

I water 3 plants at work

Just now went to each, thrust
My fingers through their leaves
Into their soil to check for moistness

And flashed on this morning
You on your stomach
My fingers deep
Sampling your wetness

None of these need water

Though I may need to sample you more
To see your need
So I’ve made an appointment
For you to be closely examined
Tomorrow after work in my sanctuary
In the Church of Not Quite So Much Pain & Suffering
