as elsewhere ( a p o e m )
…
as elsewhere
a swift swoops
ivy climbs
a rose droops
a lamb springs
a pea shoots
a poet
an owl hoots
a thought forms
a train toots
a yo-yo
loops the loop
an ear hears
a nose snoops
a mouse roars
then makes soup
a man's wronged
the press smear
a storm brews
a head clears
a faun falls
oh dear deer
a hard bard
they shake spears
a star's born
an end nears
a bat shats
a wheel steers
a shallot
it sheds tears
all elsewhere
but not here
sorry
...
