Cracked ear drum
Paint can rattle
A sharp object protruding
From the boat with no proper paddle

The forest is lined with gas stations
And rows of fords and chevrolets
Columns and pillars of bygone cultures
Recovering from the denounumet

Glass bubbles and chicken stock
A finely crafted spoon
The hopes of ten thousand children
A moldy cheese of a moon

Quixotic adventures in abandoned quarries
A tea kettle set in the bath
The colors all run together
Confused by average 7th grade math
