16,371. MOSTLY, EVERYONE'S GONE MAD

MOSTLY, EVERYONE'S GONE MAD
You can slide the infraction under the door,
the place where the corn flakes glide. There's 
a raven in the window staring me down. Quoth
the raven : 'You're a bore!' My, my how things
have changed.
-
This quality of mercy is not strained; I always
wondered what that meant; baby food? Strained
peaches or beets or pears. I like my spinach straight.
-
The tan dog walks by again, looking sideways at 
me as it goes. In the aboriginal night of some
dream-time circle, I'd be fearful, but not now.
I am safe in the Heaven I stand beneath.
