The Miracle of Toothpaste
A tube of paste, so small and white, A shining beacon, in the night. It sits atop the sink so fair, A reminder to show we care.

Catfished
With a heavy heart in the room I stood, Having been bamboozled by a baked good. With hopeful, hungry eyes I spent my wage.

Sleeping on pavement, hoping for tickets, you'd think we were out there waiting to picket. The box office opens, I search for my tokens.

Boanerges
And neigh like Boanerges — Then — punctual as a Star Stop — docile and omnipotent At its own stable door — These lines are from a poem by Emily Dickinson titled "I taste a liquor never brewed." The poem describes the speaker's experience of being intoxicated, and the lines you have quoted suggest that the speaker feels as if they are riding a horse that is neighing loudly and powerfully like Boanerges, a biblical name meaning "son of thunder."

Seal Despair
None may teach it — Any — 'Tis the Seal Despair — An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air — These lines are from a poem by Emily Dickinson titled "There's a certain Slant of light." The poem explores the emotional impact of certain kinds of light. The lines you have quoted suggest that the experience of despair cannot be taught or explained but is instead an "imperial affliction" that seems to come from the air itself. The phrase "None may teach it - Any - 'Tis the Seal Despair" suggests that despair is a deeply personal and subjective experience that cannot be communicated or shared with others. The poem explores the effect of this kind of despair on the speaker and the sense of isolation and loneliness it brings. The poem's final lines suggest that the experience of despair is a reminder of the transience of life and the inevitability of death. The poem can be interpreted as a meditation on the fragility of the human spirit and how we cope with life's emotional challenges.
