>Shell Game

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Jerry

which cloud bears underneath

the golden super ball

I crick my neck

and prick my consciousness

burning eyelids descend

this long down filled covered sky

it would be a good day for the

gods to get in a pillow fight

flinging wisps of fog to earth

so they evaporate leaving only

a golden super ball
