'The Best Poems Are Penned At Night' <br /> <br /> <br />After the world has bottomed you up <br />like a brown bag, no label wine. <br />All. Day. Long. <br />Plopping your worn glass, <br />empty, on a Whirlpool cardboard box... <br />Absorbing, drying <br />all once-upon-a-time, 'Made In China', <br />condo-walled dreams. <br /> <br />Your buddy, 'Thunderbird', twitches whiskers <br />over glistening gutter teeth. <br /> <br />Dandelions in cement cracks. <br /> <br />Ah, life is good. Sleep peacefully. <br />No mortgage. No rent. <br />The morning brings a full glass <br />to hold you in escrow... <br /> <br />For Torquemadas <br />Of the World. <br />**************************************... <br />* NOTE! <br />But, look on the bright side! <br />Publisher's Clearing House <br />Can knock on your, uh, door! <br />You DID follow the rules... <br />Didn't you? And...buy $5,000 <br />Worth of stuff you'll donate, <br />And write off on your taxes... <br />Next year....? <br /> <br />Good Morning! Good Morning! <br />Ya'llses!<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dandelions-in-cement-cracks/
