April's Fool

Jesters cap and cricket whistles
Here's a bush with tons of thistles
Barbie doll from '82
Creeping vines that choke like you

Oh my god, another snake
Glad it's tangled in the rake
Catalogues for shows long past
Rocks and wires, kiss my ass


Snails and slugs made homeless too
Cold and dry and dead like you
Families wailing through the night
They run away to avoid a fight

I need the shingles to sit upon
As I gaze at my tortured lawn
Long ago I doused the torch
Now I ponder under porch
