Memories of Irresistible Toys

& if you think about it
the meaning of

a poem nailed to a door with
an umbrella
a sewing machine
a fire extinguisher
puppet strings & tattoo ink
loneliness & memories
mirrorballs & cattle prods

for a hint of mint
& a spot
of honey
going at it hammer & tongues
an explosion of
news & entertainment
& a pocketful of needles

& if you think about it
the meaning of

a small town nailed to a church
to burn all the witches
& drown all the lawyers
& sing sad songs to the stars

& if you think about it
it all falls into the mirrors
& your world disappears
