Untitled: Freight train walks…
Freight train walks the rainbow road
carts darting
past as I think about puzzle pieces
and worry; buried
by toothy smiles and pterodactyl
laughing whoops.
Strict instructions tell me to drag him
out of his orbit
when all I want is to wander through
the milky way of
his mind. We’re so much happier
there with moaning Lisa syndrome.
Who’s the fool and what’s his folly,
forks and knives learned atypically?
Never been more mad at myself for
choosing words with Peter Pan abandon,
careless and punishing.
But in times when we dream
together, I fear nothing for he is with me
even if HE isn’t. Warm, safe, and
together. I’ll walk the rainbow road
with him
Forever.
