All her horses are
named Athena
but for the one with the wounded leg
Sandy, she calls her, little horse Sandy.
Sandy’s made of felt, she is sad as can be
“Little horse,
take your tonic
then come play with me.”
Truffles is a cat, with one missing glove
her eyes glow at night
and she wears a top hat.
There’s a
missing spout on Teapot
so we fill her up slow
we feed the butterflies
on tissue trays and candle wax.
What’s your
favourite bus route
of 600 that you know?
“The whole world” tangents Charlie.
...the darndest things indeed...
so too
so too
the swan on the
water
does it with such grace
that you can never see her paddling like
hell
beneath the surface.
