A broken rollercoaster
at the Freak Show Carnival
*** ***
Sing a song of tu’pence,
here’s six-pence change
*** ***
Don your Pennywise mask
and crash into my Dodgem
*** ***
Hall of mirrors warps my soul,
my perception screams for more
*** ***
Bearded lady reads my un-fortune
of happiness and health.

Cock your head,
view it sideways
Now it makes sense

Right?

If the world is round
and ever moving
Straight is never an option

Mother Nature
not Terry Pratchett;
It’s called Earth, not Discworld
*** ***
These linear paths deceive
as they curve,
but you act so surprised
while you curl up to cry
at the injustice and heartbreak

.

This is not what you asked for
It’s not what you dreamed
Hellish flames scald your essence
and devour your soul
For the path had a turn
despite what you yearn
Life is out of control
it’s turbulent. Defunct

You leave me alone
I want peace
I want to not be judged
By your accusing eye
For failing at every
One of your fucking hurdles
how many words does it take
to fly a plane
how many paddles does it take
a car to move
how many muffins does it take
a cat to jump
how many eejits does it take
to fuck the world
