Goody Gumdrops felt like
He was very much like
The circles he'd drawn to get
His dried out pen to write
He whisper-wished for funny fright
For whooshing broken record wind
The arrogant man's words
Were carefully chosen
According to his
Imagined retelling of
What he said
By whom he said it to
To someone else
The action
The seeming
Of the action
And the recognition of the seeming
The cast
The costumes
The curtain call
A glorious performance!
From nursery to nursing home
Snails leave a trail of slime...
The Q-Tips in my ears always go
