Poem

This is an excerpt from Mike Snyder's awesome poem, "Thoughts collected on a super crazy bouncing ball, or Poem written in a rare used bookstore." Thanks, Mike--we'll get to work on those out-patient procedures...as soon as I put up that 5 cent psychiatry sign.

Mike's book, Poems Written Near a Laundromat, is now available for purchase at the Lion.


"...But in some downtown beloved bookstore one may bundle toboggans finding a cease-
fire in this sea of love-n-literary desire lying about with the lonely lions
devouring minty tea feasting on a banquet of coffee-n-biscotti...
'self-educated' can never be overrated..
the seeds are sewn, and who knows where they're goin',
..please excuse the mess,
a rampaging nanny goat just smashed thru a downtown police barricade
and galloped in
looking for 3 billy goats gruff..this is noooo jest..
Earlier we had a Sinatra crooner yammer at the top of his lungs
and some kooke demanding a library card or he'd start a fire,
sir, this is not a library--only a sanctuary..
and we're still working on out-patient procedures."
