Kit Kelen #1044 - on being a part of the problem or Queenstown Syndrome


1044
being a part of the problem
or
Queenstown Syndrome 
 

sweet faced
acrylic lamb
made in China

how little the leap
you'd do for me
it's all the paddock bounce gone
to scarf and beanie, one rack along

we have to toss you in the air, little lamb
and could take you to school
make the children laugh and play

I saw you in Iceland last year
now you're wearing a fresh new flag
it's from the same factory
I'd know that sheepish
on the chin

all these clouds like sheep between
you could go around the world collecting
black face
darker footprint

can't find you just anywhere

marked down
in a basket
out of the weather

luggage squeezed
some day I'll make you
your own meadow

I promise a brook
and a rack of
some hay
and regular shearing

you are
so
so
cute
