Spinning into Chaos
I neutralize
exuberance.
Hit &
run
thru the
Pearly Gates.
A vigilante
of myth.
Puzzlement &
concern
wrapped in
a bright
yellow slicker.
& you
wonder why
the road
block &
the
flashing lights.
A language
with a
million words
& you’re
tongue-tied.
Gone the
days of
love notes
& shy
response days
when sunrise
& sunset
took
place in
different worlds.
When Never
Never Land
was down
the block
past the
candy store.
When happiness
kept popping
up all
over
the place.
When polar
bears lived
on meadows
of snow.
I’ll take
these things
to the
grave
with me
& the
world will
spin
into chaos.
