Long Ventriloquists Poems

And there's no telling if I won't or will 
If I fill the tank with secrets, will...

There … 
It was
dark. England, 
set down,  and stretched out 
for miles, 
and days 
without end
Far afield her quondam spirit,

Fish and chips salty air
Big fat bottoms sat on stripy deck chairs
Sticks of rock candy floss and bottles of soda pop
Sand castles and buckets and spades
Dad with binoculars pretending to look out to sea
But looking...

Six friends met for seance
brought their dolls
placed ring-a-rosy in the center of a table
dolls holding hands.
Lights were dimmed
and seance session started
guests cast their voices
as ventriloquists to the dolls
without moving their lips.
The dolls gossiped among themselves.

Over by the corner the bandstand plays on 
next to the cotton candy wagon and the clown 
Its a circus act full of people and acrobats
and tallish men on walking wooden stilts

One tiny red balloon...
