at the door
he grips the
waiter
by his offered
paw and then stood
in the centre
of the thorough-fare..
mmm..arms akimbo
he seeks portend-
he is the crow
the scorpion
he is pan
back he twists
over-his head
upside down!
the people of
hamelyn
are appalled-
a small child
cries-
look mummy!
that manΒ΄s head
is upside down!
hot pies!
vendors cry!
chess nuts!
(the police
arrive-hello,
and what do
you
think
you re
doing..?)
rising from the dead
he says
ok,folks!
just loosening up?!
the silence
of heaven
broken
by sound
unknown
the pied piper
played
gloryΒ΄s crown
a perfect
bristled fur
embouchure
a single noted
tear
trickles
down his
downy
beard
the rats
glassy eyed
crowd
move as one
beeeeeep!
the onlookers
frozen
the pp
leaps two
jete
have lost
minds
the rats
follow
closed
behind
they were
leaving
any how..
we have to
all go
the mayor
the waiter
the law
down the street
out of town
to the sea
on his heel
to the brine
and they
go under
and under
until
all drowned
his work done
he walks back
for remuneration
pack his bag
and go home..
