Toots and Twaddle 3

the oranges of the
species on display in one
who's missing a link
Sally's soup was thin
Stu's stew was thick and tasty
Mixed? Thick and thin grin
Breaking through the crust
of my inner life. Send up
a flare for pizza.
a blanket over
my head won't stop the horror
behind my eyelids

once upon a time
winter grass was what was in
last year's heavy coat
put the nettle
to the metal kettle
said the blossom
to the stem
"Tea time!" ah Clem
