Something Missed. By CpSingleton (c) 2015
Out of a morning filled with tense, clamped thoughts
A smile appears!
It dances, tiptoe, into the room and clearly sings
TAH-DAH!
It's a long time lost, but so very gladly found!
Something missed.
Don't laugh you'll only
Encourage me.
It's best if you nod and
Patronise me.
That way
I won't feel part of
The circle.
I'll quietly slouch into
A dark corner.
No stench of mine
To curl your senses.
If you do find me in any way
Amusing and
You don't mind the
Jack-in-a-box,
Don't then tell me to
"Shut up!"
Later.
You lit the fuse.
Does a firework have
A stop button?
Neither do I.
Do bangers have mute?
Of course not.
Remember: light at arms
Length,
Step back and wait.
If you don't want the show
Don't burn my taper.
AND
NEVER GO BACK
TO SEE IF I'M
STILL ALIVE!
THAT'S WHEN
ACCIDENTS
HAPPEN!
