red paper cigarette

hey cyclops owl
with misshapen
leather
boot-like
top hat

your sad red eye
is following intently
the soggy
sac-like and paper
rainbow centipede worm
whose beautiful
feathered saturn-ring halo
is making whoosh whoosh sounds

and gives you pause
and olive colored eyelids
and tiny red-skinned gremlins
with bright yellow teeth

black horns
and yellow underwear
and black high-heeled
patent leather witch boots

i've also seen you
inspecting a green kite
like a newspaper
