Signals

Why keep tickling lightning?
Stuck in sands
of marzipan.
Catamaran turned kindling.

As I pulled on my left sock
the thin thread cooed.
Memories of woven flock
settle in as I pull on number two.

Wet leaves
Drug across my front seat.
Dim behind a phone screen.
Caged up like a parakeet.

Tightrope fall
can make a misanthrope.
Digging out an old trope.
Smoke code like a new pope.
