Lying well outside the Pale !

upon tracks of emotions
far off hope derails
in the silence of my cries
his love tried to cork my tears

Their lunch was disturbed by a fork
Left hand or right?
Wait!  What a fright!
Its Trump's New York!  Quick!  Sniff the cork!...

With a roar and a stomp, he gives a hop
Landing hard in front of the candy shop.
Where a champagne cork has given a pop....

on the Oriental Express Train
to the Far East,
I tried to remove the wine bottle cork
with a knife; severed an artery, and died....
