Looking
through a telescope
(OO)
at grass that greened
a different slope
I thought I’d like a chance to see
if mountain was as nice as lee
and setting sights on
new horizon
the trail I trod
was quite surprisin’
It switched its back
at least 8 times
an 8 fold path
to newer clime
it ran a track
in loop de loops
this lane I took
from sod-less stoop
was lined with flags
I counted 6
flashing by on coaster trip
that fed into a Seuss machine
a twisted, belching
snaking thing
which stole my stars
en route to green
and detoured through
a cheeseless maze,
on road trip spanning
several days
then wended way
through house of freaks
with hidden ghosts
and stares that squeaked
a trafficked,
grid-locked
infrastructure
de tractors favored
but my pluck, sure
proved to putting
green–my aim
to see that
grass
up close
again.
