THE MINDER      [Stefanie Bennett]

 

 

 

There’s not much I can do about

The Sandman’s removal, child.

It’s said he went,

Willingly, into

The maelstrom’s fortified swirl

Wearing a frock-coat

- Appropriately iridescent, with

Staff and cap to match.

 

Would I pull a fast one... ?

The theatrical’s

Where you find it; and

It won’t be found

Akin to the deranged menu

Of The Brothers Grimm.

What’s that!

My son –, let’s skip

 

The Inquisition [I’ve misplaced

The text]. Tonight

I sport the orator’s

Flip-flops...

Both pair.
