CINQUAINS FOR POOR PUSS
WITH BOTH MY SLAVES
NOT GOING TO THEIR JOBS
WORKING AT HOME TAKING MY SPACE
UNFAIR
DID THEY
THINK OF MY NEEDS
I NEED AN ENTIRE HOUSE
ROOMS AND PLENTY OF SPACE TO
CAT NAP
TO GUARD
STUPID FIDO
WHO GETS THE BLAME FOR ALL
THE DESTRUCTION I WREAK BECAUSE
I CAN
MY HOUSE
HAS BEEN STOLEN
NOW FIDO GETS MORE PATS
WHICH BELONG TO ME I AM HEART
BROKEN
tell me
that this geometrical precision perfection and artistry
of a nautilis shell was a random result of a big bang
along with all the other perfect mathematical design
creations in nature
tell me
that a poppy unfurling emerging
from its green furry bud casings
dropping silently on to the coffee table
is merely a botanical phenomenon
tell me
there is no magic in the fairy wren
it's all random
with everything having a scientific explanation
and now tell me
there is no God
memories of the late 60s
a new world
we promised ourselves
freedom
we promised to save the rainforests
and we did
we promised ourselves
a new way of life
and it was
until
the camera clicking tourists found us
buses going by daily
when the word got out
the celebrities came
bringing their junk culture
the movie stars came
greasing palms
building ugly mansions on the beach
and then alas
it was time to go

Tohubohu
a crossword term
mentioned in the newspaper
and in a video clip she recalled
she ruminated on the meaning
approaching it from all angles
she got a kick out of these challenges
surprised she couldn't work this one out
it was extremely hot
she drank some water
lightbulb moment
impetuous caress
that's what it means
