A Poem: "Around and Upside Down"

“Around and Upside Down”

Disconnected drifting alone in time
Screams surround and whispers dance
No one poises a happy ending
The cold dark black wants a turn
No one fears the nothing
Giggles dance as if its a warm blanket
Making tents to abandon home
Walking on my hands still leaves tracks
The dogs are hungry and on the scent
The clever old man skips down the sidewalk
Hoping no one sees his disguise
Children watch and don’t realize they are the victim
A brand new shinny nugget is on T.V.
Full of promises old as mold
Healthy as a sharp knife in your mouth
No on screams cause they don’t want to burn
Someone suggests its the horses turn to ride
Don’t worry they only want to chop off your fingers 
You can still obey the stop sign with your thumbs
At the end o f the line you get to ride the carousel
Float up and down as the chemicals slip in
No one needs a sunny day
All they do is show your wrinkles
Are you ready for a brand new can
It’s on sale for a dollar ninety nine
The waitress whore sells blindly

Its time for another turn
