marmalade dream
and there! there she was
down abbey’s winding road,
a-hopping and a-skipping,
a-lugging a hard-day’s load
“you’re such a strange girl!”
i chuck-chuckled from my tree,
and hanging upside down,
i joked “help! i need somebody!”
revolving on her toe
like a rolling club-band’s drum,
she waved with bandaged fingers
like a lefty’s guitar strum
“you know what you are?”
she blinked her blackbird eyes,
“you’re a dork and a dweeb,”
and flashed her skirted thighs
“thank you very much,
you freaky pink-lipped reptile,”
and from my rocking perch,
i flung my rainbow smile
in warhol’s fifteen minutes,
she joined my little tree house,
and tickled my lonely heart
like a cat with yesterday’s mouse
“what do you want to be?”
i asked of lucy’s future,
she sighed to the nowhere sky,
“a famous paperback writer!”
as summer’s sunset dove
like an orange submarine
she left me with a kiss goodbye
and a final marmalade dream
