Garble-de

A Poem by Lily E. Lin

Garble-de-ga-baek
Back away, don't look
Says the mother to the child
The world is filled with things
Better left alone
Garbled-e-yuck's
and WTf***'s
Hand claps, slaps across the deck
Clash! Gate closed
Slamming, hinge creaking
And limbs are stretching
Beneath the porch, behind
the stairs, in, that dark
corner, just around, where
shapes disappear, losing their marks,
No, no, no remark,
Nothing here to see, just
move on, pass by, close your eyes
Straight walk, by, bye
Garble-de-ga- auch- None, 
of your business, now.

Garble-burble-purple-gussy-burps
gaggle of geese at the horizon
spinning spiral, no V in sight
Blubber-flubber-twists in line
Don't! Parent in mind, speaking
that would be bad, no
when traveling on Mobius strips
Keeping in, what axis of rotation again
Ach, eyes down, if you just
keep going straight ahead, shout
where there is none to hear, loop
where you cannot see, cannot fail
or fall without perimeters
without walls and the choice
to stay in or fall out, in -to
garble-de-ga-ach
ahh.

I suppose I should talk a bit about myself. Writing has long been one of my outlets of expression. I write to vent. That said, I enjoy the intricacies of the word, though it may be a double edged s.. more..
