Baggy Pants Poem by Kalikiano Kalei

Baggy Pants



Cats creep across the garden

like shrunken tigers

garbed in cast-off

woolly trousers

10 times too large and late

the property of some

decrepit rural circus clown who,

having nearly drowned

in the waves of cosmic laughter

resulting from his pratfalls and antics,

has resolved

never again

to swim

too far

from shore.
