Boron is an element
of surprise
(to me at least).
Take a caper and toss it
into the lake, and
what do you get? Litter.
Stitch together
a frame of bumblebee polish
to hyphenate round regret
in perpetuity (for posterity).
Jimbo is a very old soul,
but chooses not to show
the beatings he’s endured
just to come back
and take them again.
He’s more enlightened than that.
