Lets Go Mad Today

Let us go chase some tail I say So we all run into the yard Screeching our truth Squirrels scatter Now what? Trixie, my prissy muse asks. Unamused by me; rather haughtily indignant This is all you got? Let’s not go to a store I suggest. We play some music and dance our truth Kickboxing our way through a living room of zombies Who used to be relatives But all died of same-oh, same oh. The skeletons nod at us, their teeth chattering Neighbor phones to ask us to put the music down. A human voice! We are excited. Pandemic zero today, us six as we begin roller skating in the house After eating peanut butter pancakes and throwing water balloons out the window Hitting no one as no one is here anymore Let’s go mad, today Trixie suggests. Too late We are already there.
