nibbling away at your sanity
A flower lowers its head.
And realizes its shoes are untied.
The special growth.
Leans over and says hello.
Stuck on the ceiling.
Reaching down toward my spaghetti.
Letters on the wall.
Looking for someone to bite.
May be too little, too late.
But I happen to know he's a softie at heart.
Goes nowhere.
Just like life.
Some things happen slowly.
If they happen at all.
Take them one at a time.
And end up wherever you get to.
Ante. Post.
Pre. Pseudo.
Is happy to point the way.
But does not know to what.
The time to run for it.
Is here. Is now. To spawn and die.
Sometimes hide in plain view.
And sometimes they don't.
In the heat of the moment.
It all hits the wall.
Of the wussy pillow.
Which was the way it was in March.
Mooning around, without much point.
Exactly as it should be.
Well, a gentle one.
Quietly waiting in gentle light.
Waiting side by side.
As I walked by.
Passing through.
As I was.
Loud flowers annoy me.
I get along with these.
As ever, surprising. But.
Comes around every year.
When you wake up in the morning, and you have six legs.
You go looking for a reasonable place to use them.
Not that scary.
At least mine.
Not the opposite of dark.
But its closest friend.
Were on something else.
When this walked by.
Nestled tightly in the weeds.
Glowing with a delicate ferocity.
Under the branch.
On a random day.
From out the bush.
Gropes a bright flowwah.
Roger R. Roger, scribbled on a board.
Talking, squinting, smirking at the horde.
