Kitchen

The clock on the wall
is a fake, I'm sure
the hole in the hall
has fabricated fur

the fly on the ceiling
has left too soon
the fridge is peeling
the man in the moon

the toaster charged
the oven quit
the blender says,
"you're full of it!"

the coffee machine
covered its eyes
the fork's obscene
the tea pot tries

The table flatly
says it won't
the hutch is yellow
and it says, "Don't!"

the bread box blows
butter tears
the counter shows
its knifing fears

my kitchen thinks
that it's alive
that's why I drinks
from noon to five

  1. The listeners were listening
    Making sense as they could
    Perhaps not really,
    But making sense as they should

    Their questions were asked
    Or not, even tho bid
    Their honest concerns
    Often were hid

    An important debate
    All looking for clues
    But occasionally lost
    Simply staring at their shoes

    Some stayed til the end
    Trying to figure it out
    Others said I'm good
    I'll see you about
