GONNA TAKE A POWDER

Embracing this low and calm fumes
Adopting these reserved maneuvering skills
Rehearsing my lines daily…hoping to perfection
I wish to be the extra prototype when the curtain rises up
I will majestically bow to the jury…doubting their frown

A game she had played every night 
on guard for that opened-door light;

of the change...

Alphabetical animals all around:
Angry army ants,
Busy buzzing bees,
Carousing calico cats,
Dancing dolphin duo,
Eerie electric eels
Fancy feathered flamingos,
Graceful grey geese,
Harmless hairy hamsters,
Interesting itchy insects,
Jolly Japanese jellyfish,
Karate kicking kangaroos,
Lonely little lizards,
Many mischievous monkeys,
Numerous nearsighted newts,
Old ornery otters,
Pretty pink...

Hanging onto my virtues,
As rich as an infant to his 
belongings,
And Just like a thief to its loot.

I sit on hilltop of regrets,
On which I pause and ponder.
A poisonous thorn pierces my 
heart,
As I view...

Used to gad about town as such in my day
but don't get around much anymore
conked out zonked out
(perchance to dream)
I prefer to remain
housebound indoors

my dogs are barking
and my best guess they...
