Goody Gumdrops felt like

He was very much like

The circles he'd drawn to get

His dried out pen to write

He whisper-wished for funny fright

For whooshing broken record wind

The arrogant man's words

Were carefully chosen

According to his

Imagined retelling of

What he said

By whom he said it to

To someone else

The action

And

The seeming

Of the action

And the recognition of the seeming

The cast

The costumes

The curtain call

A glorious performance!

Wow!

From nursery to nursing home

Snails leave a trail of slime...

The Q-Tips in my ears always go

"WoWoWoWoWoWoWoWoWoW"
