SoaringIcarus Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 It’s time to write right In four corners until I fall into a manhole, emerge with two kids, and a fish, waiting until God decides to Beam me up! And I’m thinking “Now I’m finally getting somewhere!” On my way up I saw Satan in a helicopter who gave me the finger-wag And a smile, so I shrugged and the whole world fell with my shoulders. When the world went to hell with me, I thought I could do no harm by asking “Are there clouds in hell?” So Satan called the whole thing off. In thanks for the borrowed thought I renamed My fish, Rufus. When I got back in town the coffee shops had spilled, so the streets Were a slip-n-slide of beige Sugar water. Those who were wandering At the time, got lost trying to slide home, since for so long It had been gray. But see, I knew, because, as Brooke Sorber taught me In 9th grade, gray and brown Do not go together. Having dived off of that faux-pas It was just Rufus and I, swimming in the only clean puddle. Zero gravity was fun until we got bored and pulled the flusher. We thought we’d be sucked into Jupiter’s rings, but we didn’t have that kind of money, so what else could we do, but drink our feet back to the ground. Our runoff flows into others’ pools of thought. That is to say, thought poured in a container that’s empty. Not thought leaking out of a container that’s broken. “But some of our greatest Ideas come from broken people!” “Listen, sweethard, you can’t house a school of fish in a soup bowl. Let’s get you that pet snail you came in for.” You, on the other hand, parachuted into my back -yard where I go to run a way from myself; you told me you trusted me, just to see the look in my eyes as I hiccoughed dandelions. Your inner child shared secrets with my inner child, and as we wished away my disbelief, we also planted future weeds in our bed of roses. But maybe after a while it would be the roses that were out of place, so then we could take a Polaroid, mail it to Webster and change the meaning of life. -Icarus
