Audacious

Elsa's SpinsterLollypop Inspired

Can't say--what'd we say--we ask the question but only write the answer.

There's a system

Here's a system

Bury the schematics let the rain take the blame

Circular-they said-and oblong.  Haven't heard such news since, we just spin.

Caught a glimpse but wrote a page, eyes slipping to the side

A furtive gesture while the dog whines.

There isn't a punctuation mark to mark the end

but a perpetual ellipsis skipping stone and the space is sinking.

Always falling/following through.

The panicked cluck as she swallows her tongue while spelling her own name into that bulbous magnifier

(is the thing that sits)

Today is the perfect day to--

--Miss a golden opportunity!

All those--barb wire flowers--

already painted.

A sleepy doorway, an audacious chair.

We move with perfect resignation

towards rust.
