Poem 30# Pretend

Interview practical joker
In the parlor a gentleman
We never saw his face
Old meadows heart simply stopped
Very shocked brokenhearted
Death did not make him
More than an announcement
Story ends two days after the funeral
Scattered brained
A monster one hundred chubby little moment
Wrinkled her nose
Cautious craned neck a million times
Pressed together a line of her forehead
Too late heavy feet emerged
No answer would do, snatcher her up
All the world like a metronome counting off seconds
Scurried don’t peek for cover
Eyes swept a bit of colorful gleaming
Pointed straight at gross unfairness
Fired of playing hide and seek
With myself careful side to side
Come on give me a ride
Full prospect
If you don’t
I won’t tell you any more fairy tales so there
Seventy degrees on the other side
Carry me back uneasiness to shout
With pity presence whirl towards
She doesn’t need you now
Let him stay Cinderella.
Cinderella wasn’t pleased when
His wife walked in
Still Sunday afternoon in utter solitude:

Pretend.
