Trauma


Like Balthazar, the Ass,
  1
But unlike him, incens'd
To violence, rack'd Head
Sets shoeless yond, spewing:

"This is the Garden! Wake
  5
Sheep and Rams of the fold,
Befriend laughing Isaac
(He-She-Fairy-God-Mom),
Be kind to Earth-Mother,
  9
Appreciate flowers,
Wear the belt tight, listen,
Explore electric ponds,
  12
Paths and streams, ask not how
Or why! Enjoy the world."

I wish this was all said,
  15
When Snap lost Rhyme,
Reason, keeping Rhythm.
