Silly

It’s square 
not round
but force
they do
wondering why
when what
what they
want is
always will
so silly
these follies

Box

A box
a toy
a handle
to crank
and music
will play
until the
spring unwinds
or breaks
and the
box goes
back to
being just
a box

Bucket

Two buckets 
with different
placed holes
will always
leak yes
at different
times but
neither will
ever hold
the water
therefore fix
yourself before
you venture
out looking
for another

Highway

A hollow 
of once
a frame
absent of
a picture
eyes deep
set dead
a ghost
I became
wandering through
past’s vestiges
until a
spark seen
out yonder
beckoning me
come hither
for nigh
is a
highway to
nothing nowhere

Behind (to VinVinnyVince)

You can 
only get
anywhere by
having been
somewhere else
before the
only difference
is that
the you
that belonged
to before
can’t come
along to
the new
leave that
bastard behind
