Did you wish?

Did you wish that
Someone could’ve told you
That this day would come
When you’re hairless like a cat,
Or gnarled like an olive tree,
With gray eyebrows and extra hairs
Like those on your upper lip?

Or blind as a bat,
Or deaf as a doornail,
Or toothless as a bird,
Or boneless like chicken,
Or arthritic or wheelchair-bound,
Or dementic or missing an organ,
Or all of the above? Then…

The Marionettist

The Marionettes watch for
A pout, a frown, a scowl, a sneer,
A grimace, a grin, a smirk, a simper…
The Marionettes listen for
The breathing, the throat clearing,
The expletives, the sneezing, the coughing…
Of the self-proclaimed Marionettist,
Then move accordingly.
