north south ova east west

it was on between two sides of the pole
one north one south
east west were still hooking
the trash is out, the hooks in play
take a snap shot
all the onions arow
wander the toilet bowl
gathering fancy wherever it left
over the curtains it rolls
a treasure of cooking between the lines
an android of reason
distance shed between shelter
a totem pole, a light, a gasket
read when the lights went out
freezing the tires between shutters
smelling racks when erasers will do
all out of control
weasels are friendly except when they want you
then they get hungry
caverns turn to shutters, earthworms to dust
trails made, travails for crossing
winter born, spring sent
washing the pie with the worms in between
there wasn't much flavor
the caps were down when frying
capturing the spirit but not the essence
the tin mixed with apple
a plum in between to stir the rum
still a rummy idea for an egg beater
the sandwiches are dusty
pull in a drawer and get sanded
the trays as wide as the owls long
the rats and mice and bunnies scurrying
said one pole to another
"don't you think this is a tad
north south ova east west?"
