I am haunted by iguanas
Crawling though the attics of my dreams
And lately my front teeth
Are growing some kind of orange fur
I worry that ring tailed lemurs
Have stolen my remote control
I'm ridiculed by spider monkeys
Holding my underwear for ransom
My faithful cat ignores my worries
Unless her dish is empty
Now ants seem vaguely threatening
And magpies watch me in the morning
Late at night, I wonder what advice
Kafka or maybe Aristotle could offer
But they've never friended me or twittered.

Unless her dish is empty
Now ants seem vaguely threatening
And magpies watch me in the morning
Late at night, I wonder what advice
