'2010/03/03 Dragon, Gryphon Poem by Margaret Alice

A butler evicting a bat
a teenage dragon, a
gryphon, crocodile and
tarantula, a rat

The cast of characters in my
new storybook, as soon
as I can think again
hold up my head

I am going to start to read
it earnestly, the preliminary
peek whetted my appetite for
something exotic and weird

The cast is brilliant, let’s hope
the storyline will allow them to
shine, let’s hope this latest al-
lergy attack taught me a lesson

I am so tired of being fatigued,
suffocating in my own body, my
nose closing all on its own…
