The Way to Look at Life Is Upside Down

Alpha List Number Poems About This Site Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

The way to look at life is upside down, Head rolled to shoulder, chin to sky: Inside heaven, buried folk all snug, Rodents burrowing upwards, tunnels dug Towards the stars, and brambles high Yodeling where dipsy leaffish drown. Everything presses up: The feisty crown Interred as toes sunk deep in a grassy rug, Green nimbus, awaiting orders to fly; Hawks circling below, the sun a shrug To reason us towards where things rightside lie.
