Made

MADE

of sock puppets, dunk tanks and bumper cars.

socks with holes, holes for heads
all wet, stinky in fact

picture the bumper cars
bumping, bruising
each choosing their own way
headed for you and me
out of control

nothing seems to matter
it’s all clatter
“Collateral damage,”
that’s all

no matter
towns burning
blue uniforms stewing
little ones, immovable,
staring

deck of cards, blue and red
thrown sky high

sobering thought…
God is watching

An unbelievable pen, Kim! Accurate description..... Of the goofiness going on. God is watching ~ he's always here. Maybe folks might get their heads screwed on if they knew that! Hugs, Panagiota xx
