PatienceA Poem by Kate
Patience in my pocket
Jangles like coins I´m groping around I´m tossing silver pence. Patience in Gabriella Cilmi's Sanctuary Is playing this poetry of running thoughts Which won't wait to be relayed. A sign of your daddy's aging Is his snoring In the grip of An early afternoon nap Loud loud - ER loud- EST noise Outgrowing outlouding Blaring loudspeakers of the TV set. There you go... Sneakers, hip-hop XXL trainers, Baggy T-shirts from previous decades Shabby shorts from Beverly Hills' beaches In the 90s worn by a skinny Donna and a muscular David And others... Orange, green, yellow, reddish pink Whichever combination No shame This is not a catwalk allure! You are opening space For your doggy's leg To run through cracked pickets Of prefab houses' balcony fences Of the SAMENESS Of clothes lines Suggestive of stucking in a rut In a regime dictated by any one of us. You are giving a portion of time To your doggy's pooing and peeing And elated tails' wiggling Of fleeting happiness! Turn them free from a leash Of a whipping dictatorship Of a hierarchical domination Of your brain coming first - Without sexual overtone More pivotal than doggy's senses Sniffing and sniffing Kinds of smell Hardly ever tackling your nostrils! You are cruising among decorative bushes You doggish community Taking pride in having bibs From criss to cross From side to side From up and down From corner to corner Diagonally vertically and horizontally Drawn with doggys' coolest collars Designed by a posh spice's pointed nose By a mouth's dimpled corner By a coming apposition... ...Victoria Beckham. Wicked! Patience is swinging with me Filling breaks from work And work from breaks Stuffing commuting with observation And observation with conclusions About this funny race of ours Of a clever-EST man Overweight with diploma fat Hanging on grammatically correct HIS or HER neck And belly And beck And... making a blunder Absolutely un-grasp-able To a chubby bumpkin running in shoes Of wits and wisdom Gathered in berries of laws of nature Smashing! Good night song it is Indeed Storm is coming on its tiptoes To sing me a thundering lullaby To punctuate my sleeping dose of dreams To cleanse soporific drug Splashing from my skin's volcanoes To put out soothing lava Pouring out from them And thus making me wide awake. Damn! © 2015 Kate |
