Operation

The doctor cuts the patient

he cuts all the way to the heart

he then cuts the heart

and a beeping is seen inside

there’s a machine in his heart

meant to make the man live a longer life

the doctor takes the machine out

and opens it fast

it’s an old battery

it’s dying fast

he takes the old battery out of the machine and puts a new battery inside

then he closes it up

and puts the machine back in the heart

then closes the heart

cats, things, a woman, an elephant, a bark

he opens his eyes

he was dreaming this stuff

the operation is done

he will survive

but for how long will the machine last?

he asks the doctor

and he replies

hopefully for the rest of your life.

The Planet Hazy

In the planet Hazy

it rains metal

it falls around

all night long

into the forest of gnomes

they hide under the trees

so as not to be hit

by the falling shards

of frozen mercury ice

they will be alright

the gnomes agree

it’s only for tonight

Violet

The cat walked on the stage

and looked at the audience

they all looked back

not sure if this cat was meant to be there

but most of them thought he wasn’t

he meowed and everybody laughed

a man working for the theatre attempted to

grab the cat

but the cat just ran

he jumped off

of the stage

and went to the nearest exit

and he made

his escape

In between States

The moon was full

and there were no clouds in the sky

the stars were shining brightly

we were in the cold desert

At night

in my dreams

a wolf came to me

his eyes were glowing

I woke
