If Everything Cost An Arm And A JPEG

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fear today,

gone tomorrow

when joy dances

the tarantella

on your skull

then anxiety

mops the floor

before getting

google-eyed

over a broomstick

Mumbo jumbo-

jet stream-

of conch shell

can hear the sound

of the seaweed

while hobby horses

become addicted

to ping pong

But you can't

judge a book by

its lover
