Today's other poem is Category: Ballad

Category: Ballad

 

With flaming pumpkin moons risen

could we ever have dreamed  

inimitable is in I’m a table and visa versa

like an unknown Jeopardy category?

 

That’s enough smart aleck talk

for one not stuck in a ballad

and round we go the Ferris wheel spins

inspecting our hands before our eyes

 

A black cat in full screech pose’s  

latent beingness boilerplate

can’t tell us why we cringe  

like absent-of-thought wet hens

 

We felt our fall subside

at all angles

and against all our lost battles

time was the free train engineer
