Super Duper

they put us side by side on a shelf turning our keys at the same time but we each have different tempos as we motionlessly pose in stance atop our music boxes and turn merry go round as if to dance you a ballerina me a frog with tux and tails top hat cane complete Puttin' on the Ritz which juxtaposes though we're both on one leg your form is balanced on one toe in that of sacred geometry so as our music slowly slows yours shows still melodic lines symmetrically infinitesimal eternal my song has stopped but in the faintest quiet yours will always be heard

If you type in a title in the box at the top of this page you can usually find a poem. It’s a lot easier than trying to search through pages and pages.

Thank you Richard. The title comes from the song lyrics of "Puttin' on the Ritz. "Duper" rhymes with Gary Cooper lol.
