One Size Fits All

One Size Fits All

There is no history of how bad became better. - Thoreau

Image result for total eclipse

A lamenting sun dons a hiatal hat.
Leaving earth disemboweled.
Like a wicked, worldly word without vowels.
Amidst a lost and found bevy of demented lies.
Oh well.
Oh Hell.
Isn't it just swell?
Opening the barn door at the funny farm.
What's the harm?
Hope has no ears to hear such dim, candid cries.
Fortunately, straitjackets come in an adjustable size ...

"Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate." - Thoreau

an eclipse of logic...the funny farm awaits many of us sooner or later...you let me know when with this poem...when i start writing poems with no vowels...i will be sent to the consonant room...and locked in.
And i will know i am in hell.
