Severalarm streetsign

By Swanjive

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

On the road found I A severalarm streetsign Pointing in several different directions With several mouths simultaneously preaching the brightness Of their respective directions Both limbs flailing and voices wailing wove A silverescent opalescent aq'marine mist song But after the song was over And the mist had disappeared To the insides of the hills I looked down at my single leg And sideways at seven tentecular arms And down at the bewildered Wanting to know Which way they should GO!
