some people are tygers
but not the radiant kind
made of butter rum candy
in the picture book sunshine
oh maybe you think you're fine
at the sugar time tea time
behaving and behaving-
a sudden lunge in the conversation
on a pink and customary occasion
plunges you out into the garden
sunflower blind and weeping
the pupils enlarged to take it in
while the guardians were sleeping;
while the fairy tales mourn: alas and alack;
the miseries and
the switchback tracks.
