Coo, Coo Ca-Choo

my world took flight with appetite 
those bastions precisely planned
slowly collapsed and caved 
on shifting drifting sand

you were the screen in my submarine 
the rubber crutch on which I lean 
holes in my boat letting water out
and the sour in cabbage kraut

dominos fall
when the clock strikes two
a shrew flew over my cuckoo
and the shrew that flew is you
