Rimbaud
By TJ Riley

Show no low,
Rimbaud.
Show no low,
Rimbaud. 
St-st-st-stuttering,
Muttering,
Fluttering,
In my mind lately.
With a deadly smirk,
Under the clock,
Pipe in hand,
Coat pop a lock –
Stock crock tick-tock.
Let the falling leaves weep.
Tick-tock.
Angles of corners flutter, move under shafts of light.
Tick-tock.
Grind and gnash subtle poetics breath.
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick.
Mock the flock of sheep prop
Tock, tock, tock, tock.
Flick or  kick the prick.
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.
Crucifix Gaul down under you -
Time takes its toll.
Show no low,
Rimbaud.
