RAINE REFLECTIONS

Toadstools
Goddamn gnomes!
Sitting in their
garden seats
eating psilocybin
mushrooms
busting clouds
with their minds
inhaling stardust
Sometimes
you catch ‘em
by moonlight
chugging moonshine
waddling in the yard
drunk like penguins
in baggy lederhosen
and sugarloaf bonnets
I saw one, once
after a few drams
of the best Irish,
shirtless,
chasing the neighbour’s cat
with a butcher knife
don’t think
he got her though
gnomes ain’t very fast
Come to think of it
never did see that
tabby again . . .
