Kicking and Screaming...

Two awake within dreaming
First nudge undemanding
Third tug understanding and
A meaning.
But what from my pocket
do I trade? Got a nut, got a
bone, got a chair and a spade,
put together with a tone from
A Blade.

And now I'll ask from between
the rooms, how many more of
my pretty balloons?
Do you want?

As I pick up my little broken strings
I think to myself, God's humor stings.
