Slipity-slap, face-smack flapjack
Splats in the pan with Crisco stains.
Drip spittle-drop; stop the knots tied up
And locked tight on my brain.
Stirring and brewing these hopscotch games
Which seem to spare no end.
Spit out the sweat house nightmare mouse
That lurks inside my bed.
Or
wishing to washout spider parts
In
my mouth instead.
I
try to dream of drizzled birthday cake
From a beauty queen named Deb.
But “surprised”, she said, “I’m really dead,
Watch as I take off my head”.
Shivers shed as I turn my chest
And pluck out my heart of red.
Plunger pop and my eyeballs drop
Like Roger Rabbit’s friends.
And levitate to watch my body
Slip on sticky bloodstains.
Crazy dreams and queasy things
Suddenly disappear
So
until next time…
Hold your nose and cover your eyes
And don’t forget to fear!
