Fable

by Clara Mae Gregory

She was an unstable mislabel
printed on his timetable.
The anagram that made toejam of his grand slam.

She tripped his words all double-spaced
and out of place on a wild-goose chase.

It was time to end the fable.

Witty - love the "toejam of his grand slam". Very good use of the fable idea. Double spaced words causing tripping just send my mind to giggles. Thanks for this.

it seems I lived this very ode. and yet she did not appear a fable but all too real to feel the aftermath into infinity, even the consequence.
