Gullible 


a stray flower in dumping grounds
is a stray incident.
look down as you walk the lanes
:
from the crevices
                 of indebted lives
peep                                the dreamy flowers
                   waiting 

to be squashed
by BIG feet,
to be cajoled into a bowl
in a funny residence
where laughter thaws the crude snow blades!

just a stray co-incidence i would say,
so just look down
as you brush the deadness from the green
:
the nauseating soil is the skin in the sun.
It alarms you -
             the ghosts of the dead dry leaves
throb      in your green manicured hearts!

oh, just a stray incident i would say,
so simply look away as you dress the mannequin
:
there is nothing  but  a mirror in the bed,
distorting the face 
                  that 
                 injects
                          
                 balance
                           into a familiar mask ...

oh, get over it!
It’s just a stray incident ,
a deadly petty coincidence i would say.
