El V's 4th time Ghazal (the price of Ghazaline has risen to 2.55 a gallon)

the bridge buckled and splintered covered with
bandaids, a soul is not required to feel pain.

the only thing we really caught was a hangover
but that one little fish just flipped and flopped.

i was so caught up in my own cleverness that
all the bills were late. extra fees ain't clever.

the sun and the moon really had a tussle this
morning, i just hid under the covers till it passed.

i wrote and wrote... really taking a shit for the soul,
i hope i don't start commenting on myself.
