"A Garden of Glass" - A poem from 2005 or 2006

"You Can't Take it With You"
Is a poster I see
About a play
A comedy

On a yellow poster
Posted on a wall
Or posted on a window
Sometime last fall

Or was it winter
I forget you see
Since life then seemed
A tragedy

Which blurs the lines
Of Clarity
Until one day
They made me flowers

A garden of glass, really

And Eli made me
A metal box
With blinding fire
And sprayed spit

His eyes gleamed
With a twinkle
Never to quit
And

I see on the chalkboard
In the bathroom it states
Fall down seven times
Get up eight

For this life is a tease
Of plans never followed
A spike to the core with a twist
Fragility Frigidity Transparent

Dissipating in chunks
