Mirages
I
live in a world of ants
black
ones, red ones, and spiders
bite
me in the night;
cockroaches and creepy crawlers
and
snakes slither on the path
pigeons rattle the air con cage
wild
dogs bark, cats scream
cars screech, the mosque
calls at 4 am
and
yet Britney Spears
came
into my dream
when
I woke this morning
I know
not why
her
face in my mind
like
some prison pin-up girl
blonde hair swirling
blue eyes
laughing
in
the desert wind
Vernon must be dreaming about the jailbait Brittney of many years ago.....
ReplyDeleteAs part of my poetry act I used to do impressions of John Wayne. Because of the unusual cadence of the Duke, I found that three pieces worked surprisingly well: The Beatles' "Do You Want To Know A Secret," Hamlet's soliloquy ("To be or not to be..."), and Britney's "OOps!...I Did It Again."
