The sky is falling down to Earth;
Save us all from going splat.
Chicken little bought a hard hat;
Did you get your money’s worth?
burning turning tumult yearns and
sunset flowers bloom and burn in
colored sheets that fields of wheat can
replicate with just a spark.
lots of kids are playing four square.
Some play violins with horse hair.
I’m so tired, oh so tired.
Please, I need relief. Anyone.
Misfits fit together better
than an envelope and letter
whether they are loud and fret or
calmly poised like springtime weather.
A heart entrapped, ensnared, and flared
wide open, ready to be shared.
The world, a girl–desire must
expose its face so bare–a girl; the world.
Cut-rate, cut-throat, upcut scapegoat.
Bright, stark, bite marks, arc-bent right starts.
Tripple inlets, rippling triplets.
Hunkered trucking; tuckered bunkers.
Follow when you should be leading.
Give a gift without receiving.
Show frustration when it’s waning.
Hold expressions you’ve been feigning.
Plant your bottom in a chair.
Watch it grow and stretch your pants.
Ponder; “this is not a drill.”
Launch a flare askance uphill.
Taking a risk, if you miss, can be haughtily
wrought, and rethought to reflect something shoddy;
embossed on the losses of visions we sought while
connecting the dots with the lines we have crossed.
