DUPLICITOUS

Mickey Maniac had a side no one ever saw.  

Or was it Roger’s Maris? (Etruscan, infantile.)

Slides and swings belong in a playground,

Until they make the difference

between winners and losers.

A sleepy barn has 4 sides, an open door on each end,

And one “reason for being.”

The farmer (son of Heracles)

never caught on  

as to why climate change meant “forking the hay.” 

Was the sun 

Rising

into Heat?  Everything true 

had been eclipsed:

earth’s shadow, earth’s shadow. Ducky-wacky. The two 

fell behind my horse. 

I picked up the tab, put on my shades, and left the bar. 

The next time I see you at work, I’ll say “hello.”
