Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

My Chaotic Cousin From Outer Space

dripping my red ink…
my clumsy cousin from space
lovable                   lunkhead

Dotted, splattered, kicked the bucket under
               My sofa…what a mess…what a great guest...

bleeds
on
my rug
pools
of
tie-dyed
fiber

he
     is
        so
            sorry
            roll
       my
eyes

here on planet nice, we take our time, we often rhyme
dan’s just a dinosaur from planet earth, a primate

inclinations to spin
tornado style
disasters
follow
me

one day, i shall visit, his land of chaos
straighten the curves
tidy up the streets
set regular hours
bring peace
and
quiet
