Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Pushed

Oops, they pushed their captain off his own ship,
    made sure the deck was slick, black-boot polished,
       waited ‘til great white sharks surrounded it,
until sharp sword swells upended its whip.

They turned their back, mocked, laughed, pretending to
                            be very serious - glasses pinch nose.
        They swabbed the deck whitewashing its bleak sin.
OvErThRoW overthrow, not noticing

                 a tidal wave is coming — a rogue wave
         ripping and roaring, exploring — the bore
     soaring, sore like Noah’s flood overdone,
as the fallen angels drink from its cup.
