Formalist Arrangement

apology

ideology

is music to the ear,

a soothing rush

of empathy

that makes hurt disappear,

employing drums

and every thumb

this instrument atones,

undoing wrong

melodic song

confesses less condone,

in symphony

of sympathy

the chorus of lament,

is rising round of

“aw, that sucks”

belted with intent.

whirled wide web

Old-fashioned–

I knee-board a cobweb

–ride tandem with my hacker,

click

dust mouse

to second site

–when it’s feasible

since I rely on

dial-up,

and phone booths are hard to come by.

I would upgrade, too,

I would!

If my desk chair

wasn’t a Tuffet,

if the water spout

was self-contained,

and if the super hero

–of comic book fame–

was always

Peter Parker.

Special Effect

Like a

3 day weekend,

life is better

with him in it–

Dessert when

you need to gain weight,

a back pat from peer–

–a winning scratcher,

he’s the

surprise-surprise

party you never expected. . .

a face from the past

popping up, now

–he’s prism & shine

combined.

No Michelangelo

He told me:

“all you did was grow up together”

missing malice,

as he wronged

–but I learned

I was

wrong

–to remember

–for wound

–to reveal

but he doesn’t know. . .

he doesn’t know the bond we had. . .

sisters

&

foxhole friends–

he couldn’t.

weekends are workdays

now Monday is huMped,

a travelin’

camel’in

front of week bumped,

cloven hooved leapin’

assures TGI,

is eff

in the middle

–by eff I mean fry. . .

now first days,

are worst days,

and start with a hiss. . .

no sittin’

no sunnin’

all that, but no this

just Thursdays

are normal,

are SOP fresh,

hammertime happenin’

the rest are a mess…

The point is…they were stealing a candelabra…and other, obfuscated points…

Karen Robiscoe dba CHARRONs CHATTERthe taper caper

lost its luster,

at guttering

–of candle cluster

lacking light, the vagabonds

–could not with

the ‘bra

abscond. . .

ensuing darkness

lit-i-gating,

criminals

addressed abating,

of needed light to clinch the crime

–resulting in a hefty fine

since thieves are never

compensated,

for crime or time

and all related

–debts incurred while planning heist

especially

the theft of lights.
