Mini Calendar by Eliazar Parra Cardenas
I spent 31 days
Feeling remorse
As the time evades
The cold wind gets colder
Seemingly endless bouts
Of passion entwined
Elaborately spinning
The ferris wheel of time
Corruption navigates
Furiously suspended
The outcome deciphered
Whispered in sign language
The cheesecake was double chocolate
The milkshake was half n half
The ice water
Had no ice.
Plain and simple
The dice kept rolling
And all the numbers
Were the same.
Cat’s eye cradle
Gypsy eye blind
The cowboys left their guns at home
The cowgirls wore their boots
Its hee haw
And how do ya do
Spent my last 31 days
Falling in love with you.
It’s ditch the trouble
Pull on the fog horn
Flight delayed by the thunder
Xoxoxoxoxo 151 proofreading
It’s curses and vulgarity
It’s voodoo love and prosperity
It’s a propaganda smear campaign
And the midnight train
It’s allegations of truth
Trust, liberty and the pursuit of
Rocking the boat out of town
If I’m the captain I’ll sink to the bottom
Skeleton sketches shackled
The treasure hunt is gonna be
A treacherous Toronto tradition
Charming desires drowned.
31
It’s cat’s cradle same days in town
It’s prosperity corruption and bouts of remorse
I was the furiously plain and simple
Its seemingly sink shackled skeleton
It’s the haw
ya
