Needles and boxes

A steel boot
is lodged into a
painting
drawn by an ape.
Airplanes circle a
piece of
glass, from a mirror
smashed by a
preacher.
 
An empty sailor has
no sailboat.
A sad painter has
nothing more
to paint. The sky has
melted and flooded
the life below.
The clocks got Aids
and died
from an infection.
 
A metal box
is jammed up a
stairwell
colored by a cat.
Guitars float by a
drop of
paint, from a poem
written by a
carpenter.
 
An empty teacher
has
no classroom. A sad
child
has nothing more
to do.
The clouds have
spoken
and cursed the
life below.
The hands got frost
bite and
never got any food.
