drop
this flower
inside where splinters
and racks buzz-saw
my parched and fractured
tongue
seize friendly koi with
newfoundtentacles
called fingers
notice the beauty
smell the magic
with lobotomized
katydid feelers
again called fingers
chin deep in
petroleumjelly
we "swim"
like oarsmen
and other
pondwater critters
I can see the rainbows now
