World of Puns
don’t 
talk to me
 
in some unknown tongue tripping 
to a land  I’ll never know 
monosyllables  curling up  
on the wrought iron gates 
 of go back
 you are going  
 the wrong way  
here is the maze
there you go 
flagless   begetting prisons
labyrinths  minotaurs  
do you
remember the mirror maze
at Luna Park 
 before the Ghost Train 
burnt down  and killed all those
people 
 a salutary lesson
in amusement 
    I would
run in
to find five whole sheets
of me           the
only way
to freedom was looking at the floor
she said 
 you
can’t run through a camping ground
you can only ran
because it’s past tents
she made me laugh  and hard
the innocence  
of jokes  not at
the expense of some
 one or other
no jungle-jim  for self-esteem  the internet
latter day haven of Christian
science  
it knows
not what
