Umbrellas

Umbrellas sticking out like poets indoors
                 Spreading open to cover the rain
 Nonchalantly sipping tea
         Eating lemon cookies                                
                 Breaking mirrors to see clearly
 As the bed sits atop a loft
                         With a ladder leading up
 Walking around the ladder once before bed
         Then writing a poem for a poet
                         Another poet already dead
 Inserting a penny heads down under my pillow
 So I don’t have to agonize about others picking it up
         Mornings rousing  up
                 Putting my shoes on a horse
                         I heard it was good luck
 I had to pay a rich man a buck for that course
                 Knocking on wood these days
         Wood refers to a point in the pants
My bed is swathed with hats and I sprinkle salt on the floor
                         In case it rains indoors
         It might turn to ice I think
 I scream bloody Mary
         And always rabbit on the Isle of                                                
Portland
                 My leg stays shaking
         Biting my nails at night
                 When I see a mocking bird
                 It always mocks me
         So I have to mock it
         I eat with my chopsticks upside down
                 In this mixed up
 Philly town
 My Ouija board tells me
         What’s going to happen tomorrow
                 I love yelling
         Macbeth
         Whilst stalking Macbeth
                         And good luck
                 Is so much nicer then break a leg
         They always counter with thank you
                 I’m sailing off to see
                         This Friday the 13th                 
I’m a sailor in my dreams
                 Always draped in blue
 Grabbing a woman
                 Pulling her aboard although
         She’s dreadfully clothed
 And most importantly
                 I constantly walk on the cracks
         Someone has to fill in the holes
                         The whole story that is
