WONDERWOMAN:

Two tiny people dance,
Oblivious to the grimaces on the faces around them,
A bell rings,
Announcing the entrance of a tower on legs,
Lurching down the street of Zebras

(K)

A HISTORY OF NAMES ON WALLS:

The cardboard thief drags booty into alleys,
Dressed in a life jacket,
Silent Mother,
Silent Father,
Push baby dressed in stars,
Into a bitter wind

(K)

A VIOLENT ACT:

A cardboard thief appears from nowhere,
As a skinny boy,
In Black & White & Ray-bans,
Re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere on wheels,
Hair exploding,
Like waves crashing on rocks

(K)

CACTUS FINGER:

A man appears through a gap in time,
Dressed in Black,
Like all the others,
Bright White feet beat a steady rhythm below his head,
As he glances down the street of Zebras

(K)

FF:

A man in uniform notices me,
Stops,
Hesitates,
Keeps his hands hidden

(K)

SCRATCH MY HEART:

Fast man grinning,
Two fists carrying,
Bags of promises for a better day

(K)

CLAWS:

A hooded man,
In Black & Raybans,
Looks at me,
Trying to conceal himself watching

(K)

PUT MY STICK DOWN:

A quilted boy in Black,
Watches his feet,
To check they keep a steady pace,
Wires deliver beats

(K)

SCRATCH:

Pegasus rising in Red,
Rides the sides of trucks,
That squeeze up the narrow street of Zebras,
Brushing skinny boys in Black,
With their hair on fire,
Walking into the wind with streamlined faces

(K)

CHALK LIGHTNING:

Fire engines and chocolate animals,
Watch from windows,
That line the street of zebras,
Where water waits underground,
It’s Yellow head poked through the pavement,
Watching skinny boys,
Dressed in Black,
Pull a sour face,
Into a bitter wind

(K)
