Dark Poetry From A Twisted Mind
A Perfect, Normal World
Why is life
So symmetrical
With its perfectly
Rectangular sidewalks
& squared-off hedges.
With its stupid
Plaster birdbaths
And cheap Wal-mart fountains
And ugly little
Garden gnomes.
Its perfectly manicured lawns,
Without a beautiful
Dandelion in sight.
I miss the prickly thorns
Of weeds in my yard.
The imperfection that's
no longer permitted
to be.
Eccentricity
Is accepted
Only if the odd ball
Has money.
