Day 31

I've been to Blog-Hades, but I've never been to me.

          -Charlene, misquoted

Take your blog and shove it, I ain't posting here no more.

          -Johnny Paycheck, misquoted

Whose blogs these are, I think I know.

          -Robert Frost, misquoted

Trials are stacked like Mah Jongg tiles
Flipped to mystic slamdowns of Lilliput and Blefuscu.
I spin my thyme, but rusting palls
But etch the driveways of my muted mansion.
Chill until the words congeal,
And scrape them up with shovels of shame.
Why should I go outside to see
The grinning clowns that mock at me?
The will is there, but unaware
Of rotting step on descent stair.
Take a leap like counted sheep.
Is bumping shoulders with blogging throng
My Paradise all along?
I duck my head and let 'em be.
I need no crosshairs scoped on me.
