Listen to poem:

Limp Puppet

can you imagine
a life without tears
a dawn free of clouds impending
a sparkle without a smoke tail
a ding, a dong that does not clang
a love free of clings and shrouded claws
a dream free of seances

to imagine without consequences
to imagine without strings
is a limp puppet, 
a lifeless blimp with
wind expelled
