Absurdity

IDEK man

Absurdity 

Is what I said

When they married 

My wife.

My wife, my wife

My toenail and I

The happiest couple

You ever did spy 

And since the day

That my dog ran away

I've cried and I've cried

Fore I did still deny

That the words had a tie

To the actions and life

I often let go by

As I watch my TV

The idiot box

And in between programs

I'd get up and show

The tables and chairs

All the tricks I did know

Then dinner we ate

A fine meal for three

My bicycle, invisible friends, and me

But when I returned

To my corduroy chair

I remembered the times

I had lived long before

When I went to the park

With my friends before dark

And we ate and we sang

And we fell in the grass

Tearing and breathless

Bellies inflated

With laughter and joy

As our fears soared away

But soon I was back

Where my demons attack 

Alone and defenseless

I started to lose

And I became so weak

That my old friends decided

They couldn't help me.

So here I sit

In my throne of despair

With creatures and terrible

Things I can't touch.

But all is okay 

Because most of the days

With my sweet caring lamps

Oh, we talk and we talk.
