Sudsy, Squeaky

Very Clean

By Joseph SeveroPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“Sudsy, squeaky - lovely

- Very clean - it’s in my jeans;

Healthy three-square - that’s one off from punnet;

Sealed the hatch on latch

- Patch update: The game was buggy;

Nothing, one thing, somethings;

Stun me - energize the bunny

- Battery charged -

Positive I need more than a shabby salory;

I just got off the phone with my cousin Valerie:

We were talking ablut the family, future, counting calories

- Interpretation - artist’s gallery:

Lined with sculptures, frames, and priceless pottery

- On a quest to master my peace -

Can’t leave my fate to odds of lottery:

That’s like trying to eat the soup with slotted spoons - broth falls through the collard greens;

I could be in better shape - brush up on geometry;

I could be more tolerant of construction:

Life’s detours will be followed

- I’ll control what I can, grab the clicker from stand:

The show will go on, I think I’ll stick to the plan.”
