Pantoum: Wandering
In the end it doesn't matter
Brush or roller paint afloating
As the consequences scatter
Dribbles show through extra coating.
Brush or roller paint afloating
Canvas, plaster wall or papers
Dribbles show through extra coating
Elongated teardropp tapers.
Canvas, plaster wall or papers
Home is dry or sometimes soggy
Elongated teardropp tapers
Drooling gape of grinning doggy.
Home is dry or sometimes soggy
Early man tamed wolf from wild
Drooling gape of grinning doggy
Vestige of a beast bred mild.
Early man tamed wolf from wild
Modern man tamed rocket power
Vestige of a beast bred mild
Tripper humming at the tower.
Modern man tamed rocket power
Vital need for space exploring
Tripper humming at the tower
Engines roaring, now we're soaring.
Vital need for space exploring
Exercise for bones and muscles
Engines roaring, now we're soaring
Random span of weighty tussles.
Exercise for bones and muscles
Sometimes parts and paths are bendless
Random span of weighty tussles
Next to nil, a moment's endless.
Sometimes parts and paths are bendless
As the consequences scatter
Next to nil, a moment's endless
In the end it doesn't matter.
