Vertigo


Imagine the roads had no more lines,
books words were all in german,
The sun left behind the yellow,
And barrels all ran out of bourbon.

Imagine the stop lights became purple, 
The morning started at night,
Mother’s ran with wild horses,
And pigs flew around like kites.

It’s not that this would happen,
But the frantic idea that it would,
For why should all stay the same,
Just because someone says it should.

If money wasn’t worth a dime,
But monkeys all could sing,
The world might be in havoc,
And the view would be a funny thing.

For minds are made of sponges,
They seek challenge brought to light,
And to close minded individuals,
A poem such like this is just not quite right.

  • Swings

    I remember being younger when the playground was in bloom, 

    You told me that I had a choice to use just one; But whom? 

    The slide was overcrowded and I could never get a ride, 

  • An Envy Detour

    May this envy be contagious?

    These naughts of mine that always rise come as dreams in cages?

    I might recon that is so,

    Yesterday as I sat down it started then to snow.

  • Decisions

    Four corners set each way, 
    And I still sit in the box. 
    The left could sin me, 
    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
