STACKED

(an inspired fiction poem )

**stackable was thou, Dryer,

mine Dryer was stacked--

wrecked

and wracked by truculent demons--

--haunted--

by ghostly spirits cavorting, dancing--

dare i say, prancing--

in the hoses attached.

***blimey! Washer, thy breaketh thyself down,

whenev'r thou maketh wee sounds--

forsooth, thy taketh thyself down

whenev'r thy evacuateth pump

falleth to parts and pieces

--or whatev'r.

***o, Washer!

o, Dryer!

thou art free for the taking by yon senninght--

the taking, the breaking, the broke,

the broken, the broker--

--the brokest--

breaking--

--and all in-between,

***or it's to the Full-Land--

--the landfilled to the brink

with the passing of gasses from carcasses

of foul fowl and foul fishes

lying in silent

repose

***beside stained dishes, cold ashes,

patches, and glasses,

a plethora of smokes,

and a bounty of broken

and throttled bottles,

comic books

flutt'ring

into the hush-ed and dusky night...
