as dead as a
doornail
her eyes were as blue as
the ink in my pen
as blind as a
bat
as dry as
dust
as good as
gold
as Tangled as
Grandma’s yarn
Hung around his neck like a
dead skunk
Memories jumped him like
muggers in the darkness
when the click of the front door lock behind her sounds like the
trumpet of angels
it was as difficult as
putting toothpaste back in the tube
he was dug in like a
tick
he was set up like a
bowling pin
as flexible as a
rubber band
change his views like
leaves change colors
they melted away like
snow from a fire
computers are like dogs;
they smell fear
like exchanging stares  
with a statue
It’s good to get up each morning as though
your hair were on fire
Belly preceding him like a
cowcatcher on a locomotive
looked like a college football player
ten years out of shape
waste you like a
popsicle on a warm day
stupider than a
ball-peen hammer
limp like an
uprooted weed
looked like a
sunrise, extravagant and full of promise
like air, you never tire
of breathing it
Like a fireman, summoned only when there was
trouble
As limp as a French handshake
Wanted to hear bad news like
he wanted to remove a bandage
Not unlike a long walk
in tight shoes
I felt completed, like a
plant that has been watered
She was as stiff and unyielding as a
lawn chair
She was like a cable stretched
too tight and beginning to fray
As subtle as a
gun
Her voice implied sexual desire the way
an alto sax implies jazz
The potential for disaster was enormous,
like a family picnicking on the train tracks
Winter morning was as bright as a
hookers promise and warmer than her heart
Beaming like a full moon
As welcome as a
fart in an elevator
as cool as a
cucumber
