Stranger Than Fact


No where to call home. My dad’s idea of a dome. The cat chewed through my phone cord. Twenty years ago an old crone tried to commit me to a psych ward. I want to nestle with the holy vessel. Heads or tails? In your coffin do you want nails? Brimstones will hail. Secrets I will tell. Heaven or hell? Do I hear wedding bells? I have nothing to sell. The check is in the mail. Cruise ships I never sail. Yes I accidentally stepped on a snail. I gave the neighbor’s dog water in a pail. Roses are dead, violets are new, you heard what I said. I only eat vegetarian stew. My friend is old like a ghost. He is friendly I miss him the most.
