Notes About The Poem

2/3/2025 for Constructor of My Won Chaos Poetry Contest sponsored by Sara Jama

Fifty-Two Pickup

under
control 
all's well
in whole

never
better
to the
letter

what's this
mary ann
open up
worm can

I see
blonde curls
flying
squirrels

am I
insane?
or, just
a bird brain

wait, but
it's open/shut
one minute
wingnut

I'm in the
trenches
taking leave
of my senses

open eyes
light a candle
she flies
off the handle

feelings
linger
she gave me
the middle finger

a big
talker
off her
rocker

in trouble deep
losing sleep
counting
hallucinations
and sheep

twiddle
digits
fuss and
fidget

keep a
tight lip
take
another sip

or a
gulp
beat yourself
to a pulp

living
hell
I hope
it ends well

or maybe just
a hiccup
fifty-two
pickup
