chagall backdrop

packed knapsack
an artist’s knack
crayon on paper
acrylic lyricist
propelled rappeler
without rope
a bell tower
tall lean
prickly paper cuts
lemon burns
lapped turp
lipped tarp
curled carp
high on
Bunsen fuel
billed serpents
with furry burls
really mammals
mambo trampoline
politely vamp
with ass held high
and polished sway
a catapult
puffs a cloud
of talc
poof!
cutlery clatters
on linoleum
rhythmically
limerick
oddly lilt
trowel pickles
by limestone
at the edge
where patron saints
trumpet their forte
clarion peals
fortnightly
frolic
licorice
spears
parsley petals
picayune petty
pricks
their cucumbers
on plaques
Kewpie dolls
slick and porcelain
sling kisses
slap sickly
spill the classic
coke slice
picnic cakes
kick myself
trickle and tickle
the keys
skip lightly
phantasmic
categorically
dismissed
dismantled
and bewildered
