A Parody

by Ali Znaidi

 

The ewe keeps bleating this morning.

—Aggregate of sarcastic bLeats,

w/ no pause in between, parodying his pain,

leaving him just wade into fancy.

 

Pretending to forget about his aches,

while laughing at the sun,

he just wonders, which is more painful –

aches or you?

 

Now, he has nothing to do but

sip the monosyllabic ‘you.’

 

—a panacea.
