Walking under two ladders

Put down your burdens
on this, his pick-up truck
come on, woman express
thanks
hold on
the heavy vehicle
approaches

Come say
fear, worry, anxiety
come to me!
Offload thy weight on mine
shoulders like two
unbalanced ladders they stand

Like my new
leather shoes
against the linoleum
imperfect cast so noisy
on the walking animal

Why should we follow
the principle
as those living in a strange land?
Your words I don’t
understand
Your ways
Unknown but never random

Woman, I’ve never seen you before
and it takes me a while to get
used to this noise
You look as if you’ve got two right hands
excuse me, no left feet
I slammed my book down yet no answer
where are
the whites in your eyes-like stone
Sure enough
each pupil had a red label
to read them, you must
use the inner room
