MISQUOTING THE MADDER PONIES

One of the “itises”

I forget which

Perhaps one of the phobic brothers –

Claustro or Arachno,

Or sister Agora

Anyway, something or somebody is scaring me

And it can’t go on.

 

It’s time to root out the evil gene

Crush the weak chromosome

At the very least find someone

To prescribe something

to

make the voices stop

to

keep my hands from lifting the shop

Keep my pulse from racing the clock

 

After much thought

And a conversation with the angry combatants

I’d best be served by reason to

Kick against the covers

At thunder’s signal - chew up all the fences.

Bury the hatchet

deep 

into the split-tail lovers.
