MAD
AT THE MADMEN
Left
knee follows right stations of the cross
Story
after story lying to her boss
My
photographic memory she screams
The
junk inside the margins and without
All
that muck stuck inside my dreams
Pencilled
on the mattress inside the bed and out
Fleet
of foot chasing her pet clockwork mouse
She
climbs the steps to the ninety sixth floor
Mad
at the madmen in the penthouse
(That
they won't let her rent no more)
When
the storm came every jot and title
Oceans
of emotions floods of tears
Dot
to dot she comes tasty as nut brittle
Screaming
as her nightmares turn to fear
Story
after story lying to her boss
Left
knee follows right stations of the cross
