Risible Roles Poem by John Sensele

If you follow your hollow heart to borrow
Comfort in an effort to report readiness
To enter the centre and mantle tomorrow
Assure assembled hermits happiness

Flees fleas which won't please
Geese, gander and gorgeous girls
Giggling, galumphing at ease
Because bundles of curls

Your heavy hands won't handle
Now or in the near future
That contrives casually to cuddle
Misery, usury as a culture

Steeped in beeps and snips
That drill holes and thrill poles
And pump pimples and pips
For whom no one has defined risible roles.
