Laconic Pre-Sleep Scatterings

one day
that rooster
is going to awaken
an axe murderer

stumbling drunk
is easier than
suicide

the haunting song of a loon,
ending with a giggle

a singer's words
are useless
to a drummer

an anywhere
anytime hat
is a myth

a cuddly cat
doesn't care
that you are
macho

be cool
that four-eyed geek
might own you one day

his first word,
"mama"
as was his last

kids
now-a-days,
unwittingly Peter-panned

being beautiful
and blonde
still has its eventualities

climbing a mountain
"because it is there"
baffles me
