spirit

the mind slips clutching
at straws of reality.
abused and pummeled.

the clicking seconds
of the indignant round face.
the slow farce of time.

splintered light of day.
as cackling birds fly astray.
looking for new hope.

braying is praying
for the end of misery.
greatest sleaze on earth.

the many unknowns.
giving inch unravelling miles.
cautionary tales.

i once knew a guy named nick
with an incredibly small prick
his wife was once in a hurry
she said let me rub it with curry
and that’s how nick became eunuch
