The Toddler King Part (1)
5 am in America
the toddler king
checks his Twitter feed
a five hundred pound ball
of carbohydrate and grease
rolls across the parking lot
of a big box store,
no one notices
assault rifles take stock
the second amendment
thinks about making amends
the founding fathers
find themselves wanting.

I have considered the overall 5 o’clock situation carefully as you have described it, including the chook. It is terrifying. PS: I think I would notice the ball.

Thanks Steve for your careful consideration, I had to look up “chook”. You would only notice the ball, if you were up at 5 am.

My pleasure, Jim. Ah yes, oz slang, sorry, I forgot. I do sometimes see things at 5am, but just the usual flying saucers, phantasms, vampires, zombies out for a jog and so on.
