a day's walk
by Charlie Morgandisoriented from sleep then
greeting each day with a grin;
it's a conversion reaction, i know,
from my real-life frown of glory.
i notice a centipede's 408th leg was itching;
he could only bend back to leg 404;
so he rolls and rolls; he got that itch.
have to record this, Kai's mind at stake.
he makes the runway with my mind;
his words, i pile up, then Voila!;
warm them and spew them out.
turn to my team: see WHAT i've done!
law and order is changing it's name,
trying to fit into a changing society;
it is known as Unlawful and NoOrder.
finally, some sense to meaning. papaw,
this book's cool. finally i"m in him.

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 10/17/09 at 03:19 AM your imagination is years of growing and evolution. some of your references and ideas and random flakes of text are what make good poetry what it is. i am not always so much about the entire tale as i am bits and pieces. you have a poets mind and i appreciate that. not everyone, or few...have that. excellence. |
