Away with Fairies

I don't normally zone out into nature,
nature's threat, nature's treat,
its sandbox thrill.
I worried myself awake,
it felt great.
I feel great terrified,
today's Xbox feels liminal,
I'm really in an air shaft,
I'm not really,
sometimes games are real;
air shaft simulator,
I was in one all day,
hiding at play.
I worried myself asleep,
the trees were bare,
I could see the sky,
boughs cracked,
like distant gunfire
from stereo somewhere and
over the battled phone.
Groans all around me,
the flakes, the sky,
creatures cracked stiff as shutters,
shelter evenly buried, so
all I hear is my gasping
as I realise I will
stumble amongst the threats,
as the day is long.



Snow day on Saturday

Put on your short shorts.
The radiator is giving off heat.

Clean the fridge
Eat that lonely slice of pizza.

Paint your toenails Alpine white.
Blow gently.

Drink, don't sip that bourbon.

Listen to Whitney's
I wanna dance with somebody
on full blast and repeat indefinitely.

Somebody whoo, somebody whoooo.
