With a zip
And a zap
and a zippety
Zip zip zap

And a crash
And a bang
And a whollop
Boom boom pang

And a Neigh
And a grrr
And a Clicking
Screech and whir

And a Meow
And a Moo
Growly growl
And peek a boo

And a giggle
And a laugh
Then chuckling
In the bath

And then bed
Sleepy one
Tomorrow
Will soon come.

because you think every poem has something to do with something you've done
or something you've said
and you're reading the thoughts that were never read
or you think there is someone else because you just cannot imagine being compared to a sunny day
because your relationship doesn't go that way
because to be deep means surely it has to be about you
and when it isn't then you'll pick apart your brain to see who it's about
just to figure it out
and then you'll realize it was that ***** from six summers ago
let it go
shut your mouth
No I'm going to ask
Who is this about?
Nobody is what you'll say
and I'll know that's a lie

It's hard dating a poet and now you know why

Whether you do or whether you don't

I'll take you at your word

Whether you will or whether you won't

I'll choose the less absurd

From the peak of promise

To the valley of despair

We fill the need to toss the seed

Into all of life's affairs
