This was my third published chapbook and, as far as I know, it's still available for purchase at the publisher's website.

Here is a sample poem from the collection:

                                       READYING THE RAG

                         Come to think of it, we're not
                         lost, said the dust, having returned
                         home to the coffee table, cresting

                         now on that morning's water rings,
                         squatting on the broad banks
                         of the Big Book of Rivers & Streams

                         and in the (dust)bowl of hand-
                         painted apples and pears. Tribes
                         of other grime loitered in the air,

                         unsure of where to come to rest,
                         noticing the woman of the house
                         with her cleaning rag and spray can

                         of Pledge--O vision of the apocalypse!
                         Then the phone rang, and she began
                         to laugh in her mad, hysterical

                         way, pure henchwoman, laughing
                         and listening, readying the rag,
                         waiting for all the dust to settle.
