The Day His Mouth Melted

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The day his mouth melted
they sent him to
the chocolate farm

Everyone saluted him
because
his soul wore epaulets

He just winked

Someone pointed to
the star on his chin
and said

This is where we begin
 
Two weeks later,
his mouth un-melted
and he was sent home
where no one 
looked at him
 
The epaulets were gone
but now
his soul wore blinders
 
This is where we end
