Her dog

is a bag is a pail is

a car her

scarf is a marble

is a leaf, fragility

is a key, the

lion is a pit is choke

is an apple is

dead.

The clock is broken

12:07,

now

and forever

keeps going, never stands still

is the desert sands

of time.

The swirl is vanilla is chocolate

is both

never stops is

life’s

soft serve

ice cream

machine.
