Petting Zoo

Now entering The sparesly populated town of Just Run and Don't Look Back Blueberries You're counting them all It's something to keep you occupied While feeling ugly and undesirable You watch the withering skin of His shivering fingers Wishing They shall never touch you again Agaritas "Try not to weep in the petting zoo" She whispered in vain Teeny tear drops falling onto Tiny billy goats You ache from the ego-shattering hurtfulness Of not being introducable or presentable Gooseberries He was only small to medium sized So of course she felt sour And weak And unwanted He's writing down banalities on post-it notes To not forget how to live Baneberries Don't mix them in quite yet You're not a kitty quite yet Rejoice For this is not your final form You used to call out his name Now you don't even call his phone Bearberries Enormous paws Scratchy claws Unbearable pain A resident of purgatory Roasting Spit fire With one in front and one behind Wink-wink Split Blackberries What else is there to scream?

Rumbling Starving tummy Ramblingly Deliriously Calling out her adult infant son
