version 1
absurd
dreams of satsumas with tiny hands
and melting dolls with eastern europian names
a white house turned shades of deep pink
and frantic games of musical chairs
where there are too many chairs
and not enough players
and the bobble-heads
are climbing on the table
looking for indian ropes suspended in disbelief
tricks to climb as floodwaters rise
above the chins of the serious children
reluctant to abandon their chairs
determined to go down with their rudderless captain...
i want to find rabbit holes
the temptation of glass-stoppered bottles
a choice to be made
the dichotomous dangers of eat and drink me's
perspective
fitting in
or not fitting
hand me a paddle
let me steer my dream-raft clear
of such badly sketched political metaphors
and wild queens shrieking
"Off with their heads!!"
version 2
when the white house blushed
...absurd dreams
satsumas with tiny hands
and melting dolls with east-european names
a white house turned shades of deep pink
at frantic games of musical chairs
with too many chairs
not enough players
and the bobble-heads
are climbing on tables
looking for indian ropes suspended in disbelief
tricks to climb as floodwaters rise
above the chins of the serious children
reluctant to abandon their chairs
determined to go down with their rudderless captain...
