MIND POEM

My mind hangs in the balance
As clouds of desperation rain on my parade
The marchers are out of step
The band is out of key
As the faces of all society
Look back at me
Blankly staring
Like a dream where
I forgot to put on my clothes
And no one notices my nakedness
But me
Look at the pretty colors in this picture

Blue sky
Purple haze
Blood red
Green with envy
Yellow-bellied cowardice
Orange Sunshine
Somebody – Please shoot the white horse!
It’s stuck in that black tar
And I can’t ride it any more!
Hey, have you ever seen a dragon fly?
A bank roll?
A bacon strip?
Things can always be taken two

Down South when they pick blackberries
The juice stains their hands
So everyone knows what they’ve been doing
If you have blood on your hands,
your a knock off too
See – it’s easy to wash off the skin
But difficult to dig out from under the nails ways
Oh
– Let’s leave the tragedy to Shakespeare
The romance to Harlequin
And Homer and I will begin the odyssey
,Praying that time will take us safely home.
