Arboreous & AqueousA Poem by RichardArboreous,
1967; never been held.. A gap in
the teeth only adds to this hypothesis. “It’s nothing personal”, say most
girls, young and old, red in the face. Joan the tomato, as she’s known, whilst
climbing a fence built by the underground railroad workers, aged 31 and 36
respectively, hears the sound of a sink guzzling dark liquid reluctantly.
Arboreous, the rainforest. Arboreous, friend of the Koala. Doomed only by loss
of love to the head. A professional photographer otherwise. Aqueous,
1967; throwing a party.. Dirty
bronze apartment with cold purple drapes used primarily for Friday night poker
napkins. When the eve comes, the bed moans -and the claws; the claws of an
obsidian gargoyle man dig into the high-rise glass bed. Drink in hand; with
Sahara Desert desperation. Blood-shot alarm clock working simultaneously as a
walking ash-tray. Aqueous, forever the forgiver. Aqueous, the life-liver. The
water. Oblivious to the top-hat shadow in the alley way, she hums a tune to
make a special man pur. They
belong like flora and fauna & fork and knife & foot and shoe & ant
and anteater.. But
that’s only my opinion. © 2013 RichardAuthor's Note
