Rise from among the clouds, siren keeper!

See the sun scrawl, gold-tipped pen thick strokes

stirring the skies hues. The stars are disgruntled

tea cakes, consistently cut to let the school of rosy

spotted koi fish navigate the Milky Way with ease.

Muse at the ringmaster losing his bearings, tipping

the fragile crystal sugar menagerie over, glass

and animal crackers raining down newborn

ideas upon our bird-nesting crowns.

Mr. Pachyderm, in a perpetual fuss

over time, hails the next available

hot air balloon to work today.
