Short Layaway Poems

Amassed bulging clouds 
Dashing enmity fusion, 
generously hovering
In jellylike kneaded layaway 
Mysterious noir over
Prairies quietly resting
Suddenly trapped under
Vicious wind’s X rated
Yelling zeal.

You Ain't Gettin Jack!



You wanted my heart, soul
On Layaway...
That ain't gonna get
Jack.
You can't afford the full
Price of Love? 
You ain't gonna get little
By little...Jack! 
And, uh, just a thought...
How many other Layaways
Are you checking on...? 
Mr. Jack be Nimble, 
Mr. Jack be Quick, 
Fixin to get your ass
Singed
By Love's flaming
Candlestick...
Don't knock, knock, knock...
Cause I'm gone, gone, gone....

As funeral procession becomes vain bonfire
The mask older becoming amber aspic

Still we have the whole set of pearls
To wear at dying processionals.
I haven't a thing to wear at my funeral.
Let's put it off as long as we can
And I'll keep buying more time.
No layaway though.
I don't like the way that sounds....
