q

by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"

for previous poem in series, click here





are you quite through?

quink had never seen maria so angry

she pointed to the window

zorg, the chauffeur, was standing beside the fountain

and the moon was shining through the trees

professor quinn told me a different story, quink began

but maria turned and left the room

quink decided he might as well finish his sandwich

but when he looked around

the tall red-haired maid was taking his sandwich and highball glass away


which way was the front door?

he found himself in a long corridor

with an elevator

an elevator?

he had thought the house had only one floor

he pressed the button and waited for the elevator

as he did he remembered maria

as she had been when they were children

summering beside lake geneva

before the peace talks broke down


next
