Never Saw it Coming

Here's a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k5NY8ZMx3I

Stick a knife in the dawn.
Twist the peonies
into puppets.
Put the goldfish on
the counter and feed
it cereal.
Mice cast shadows as
big as elephants on
the yellow walls of
my heart.
Dance a slow waltz with
the philodendron.
Dig up
Mozart
Bach, and
Wagner.
Make a chocolate cake.
Read me, TS Eliot, and
sing old hymns.

F**k everything.
Mom and Dad have died.

A raw, powerful read, my friend. The ending causes one's breath to catch.

Wow, Thomas W Case, you are a very good poet. I have visited your Youtube channel. Awesome!
It kind of sums everything up, no matter how impressive when mom and dad die.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
