this is

all too much

I shall

take this to the

highest committee

honest I will

I have

lost the months

the weeks

the days

the time

the time

the time

 

I place them oh

So gently

one-at-a-time

little rainbows

the red

the turquoise

the indigo

happy little buddies

all bright and

ready for their

personal legend

 

lovingly nested

my

Feng shui

friends

gently cooing

but horror

but horror

they have now

become

the others

 

are they test-tubing?

kayaking?

calculating?

tattooing?

or are they

catching?

 

from my allocated work-space

in Donnie Darko corner

warrened away

I watch my

Comrades

the

sneering thieves

curriculating

sinister and highly

appropriate

approved

new

task designs

and stealing my little-ones

 

But wait

The slyly

acquireds are

now on my

roll book

inking giggles

sending their

Titanic

dots and dashes

cooing

cooing to

come home to

be taken again

 

I bet it’s

Frank

I know it’s Frank

all smiles and

welcomes with

bloody

ink

on his hands
