Burn it away into oblivion sink it down

Push it inside out turn the space into the

Hole trace it back and start all over again

Train is ragin’ down those old tracks can’t

Stop it now no turnin’ back no nothin’ past

Ping pong jackolanterns creep silently up

The creek. Minuets slide uproariously on

Top of rising and crashing ocean tidal

Waves. Grandfather clocks rock summits

On cliffs to braggadocio silent whispers.

Who’s gonna buy me two inches of rain and

Two inches of cats? Clay tablets on a

Mountainside slide slowly down to conk

Someone on the head. I wish Coca-Cola

Would put a tiger on their cans; they’d sell

More that way.

Flung famished fortune cookie peddlers

Crossed a busy highway on their little bikes,

And ended up falling into a great big mud

Puddle full of ducks and geese. Cheese and

Crackers are tasty in the morning after

Prayers.

Birds swoop underneath forks and spoons

Full of spaghetti. Haunted houses collide

With wrecked cars on empty highways in

The middle of the howling, angry night. I

Had hoped I would get more money when I

Placed my bet at the ATM. Here’s to cheers!

Huge eyeballs bounce across the desert

Floor. Ovens cook chocolate chip cookies

And pizza for the crazy party we’re having

In a few minutes. Can you count the suns

Jumping down the road in rush hour speed

Of sound? I vote for more Cheetos and milk.
