POEM FOR APRIL FOOL’S DAY

Don’t be frightened!  Just
Be happy.  Be
A laughing platypus.
Ask yourself this:
How can Life be
A vale of tears and a can of worms
At the same time?
Who does Life think it is?
Is there no justice?
Plate sin with gold,
Eat shit with VOGUE.
Line breaks off,
Page tears itself to shreds,
The shreds become
Blazing confetti followed by
Ashes and smoke.
April Fool’s!!!
