Construction Lit Fool Blue

By Joe Dickinson

 

 

What’s a rhyme?

Dime.

Whoa!  Hello!

Hit hard,

Beat down, -

            - rangerover, or,

            disappearing act

            #463.

Hot dog!

Makes me want to cry,

Seeing you being so nice.

 

The girl stands alone,

On a pedestal made

Of shattered glass.

            The light shines under her

            Causing colors, -

            Red, blue, green, -

            To shiver their way to the sky.

 

I am on my pedestal as well,

My pedestal of fire.

My feet are burning,

Why can’t I feel anything?

Pain, pain, you only feel it

When the light goes out

In your brain.

 

Oh love!  You continue to hurt me so!

Can’t you just leave me alone?

What have I done to deserve this fate, this

Destruction of the poplar tree.
