Congregating Orphans


through a forest of dream-like

fantasies, my mind flashes

a thousand sequences of lost

memories that were wound up

tight in the hollow of a mental

tree and a family of squirrels

is now left without a home...

rational people with rational

thoughts stand on rational

corners and beg forgiveness

from the irrational whose lives

they stole when they were not

looking...  giving them to all

the northern carpetbaggers who

who hung out their shingles...

we dance down main street with

all the nude tourists hoping to

find salvation at the courthouse,

but instead are wrapped in blankets

and taken to the nearest loony bin;

we strapped love onto the brims

of our baseball caps and turned 

them around backwards so we 

could see better and when goofy

came out to play we ignored him

and pretended to be orphaned and

returned to our own mental illness.
