Last Chance

the next way....

           still waits for mournful reason:

three-headed frogs-

           reptilians, unafraid to come
out of the closet....

           car-salesman who care-

"canaries" we call anomalies,
           threatening to overrun us;

we're just beginning to tingle,

           canaries as big as the sun-
too painful to look at....

           everything becomes nothing,
waiting for

          .... the next way

Jim,the title "last chance'-last try,im reading these words but something here makes me feel,that this poem should be read in between the lines,'canaries" threats--everything becomes nothing--pain--doubts-many sand castles--this is sad--and you expressed the emotions so well-and you emphasized on"the next way'-going another way not to feel touch the pain as big a sthe sun--wisely done and makes my heart stir with sadness too--still last chance-hope still there-stick to it my friend--------charma
