Stooped

Banana inner tub laughing hallowed mess

Trying toward crisp tangent tangled steep

Indian apple face lured kneel television and

Angel rewind venison quiet stool moving ill

Reefer still meal mapping stacked stooped

Among Them

Jumping across glaciers on a steep

Mountainside, I feel the cherry twizzlers

Wrap around my neck. They tighten so that

I can feel the gas grill in my stomach push

Up through the misty river gate among

Several fierce animalistic angry pharoahs.

Nothing Never

Inside my mind I hear a rattle.

I start to climb up to the middle.

Where it takes me makes me shiver.

Don’t you know I’m feeling dizzy.

The path of least resistance 

Is the surest way to trouble.

How I want to escape

From this tired bubble.

Something promises

A change is coming.

Somehow I feel

There is a turning.

Hope abounds around the corner.

Do you see the closing never?

In Sync

I am laying here counting sheep, but they

Keep turning into shiny corvettes.

My wandering mind is uncontrollable,

Or so it seems, sometimes. Would you

Care to have a drink with me? How

Splendid! I am thankful for your company.

A Chance Meeting

Meandering along the colorful road,

I sniff the scent of rosemary leaves

Drifting through the breeze to meet me.

How did you guess that number?

The cook asks you with a puzzled look

On his face. I picked it by random.

Let’s all settle down to a cup of tea

And a warm hearth at our feet.

The clock strikes a heavy blow

To the curfew of many little ones

And those that are only little inside.

Cover my trail with burning incense,

So no one can follow behind me.

I fight off sleep so frantically,

As I doze into a puddle beside the street.

A bite of biscuit clings to my teeth

As I sing a melody out of sync.

Only cocoons hang in between.

So something beautiful awaits

To be born again on a mountainside.
