Kerri Shying R # 398 - World of Puns


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
