Sound story

 Like thunder clapping

Tap dancers tapping

Seagulls flapping

Above ocean waves


Love unwrapping

Milestones lapping

Thoughts and ghosts

Against graveyard graves


Like kettles rumbling

And Televisions grumbling

And old men humbling

Their lives away


I hear you slapping

The thighs of happening

Happy as larry

Larry who saves


All these wonderings

Pirates in swaddlings

Mothers in coddling

And lovers in lathes


Chiseling out existence

To a fine point

Like a dagger or a spear

And losing the thread

But gaining the yarn

Somewhere we guessed

It could do us no harm
