Day of Papier-mâché!
< • \ =\=\ = ^ = /=/= / • >

When I think of her, sometimes,
my whole milk curdles and gives me a whole lot of problems in my glass during breakfast.
Maybe, it could be make it into cottage cheese.
Or, actually, I’d rather just visit a cottage made of cheese.
Maybe the cottage should be made with Swiss cheese though, so there’s plenty of ventilation!
I digress…
I touch my chest,
where my target heart rests.
It’s full of puncture wounds,
from wicked words of thud-thudding-thunder,
but they cannot break me, all the way asunder.
Then I bite my lip,
because I remember -
…all the hidden puzzle pieces,
that are strewn across my cluttered cognitive walls with plastered poems.
Let’s just make it a day of Papier-mâché!
The little editor man in my brain,
who paces far too much,
choked and ran out of the nearest door way he could find.
