Down The Road

                                                            

 

Pride, Prejudice, Doubt

 

LIGHTBEAM

I swear,

 I won’t say a thing what I have witnessed,

I want to know the truth,

Who is he?

Does he hide in the white or black boxes?

Maybe he is pitch-black darkness,

Is he afraid of daylight?  

I don’t have a clue,

 

Cockroach Philosophy Teacher  creeps closer to Shades Queen.

 

COCKROACH  PHILOSOPHY  TEACHER (flirtingly)

I love aggressive women,

I love being stalked and chased,

We are a match made in heaven,

It drives me crazy to know,

There is one irresistible creature,

Who can share the sunrise with me,

Who can be always near to up my down mindset,

 

I dream about being noticed,

One day you’ll lay your eye on me,

Let me touch you,

My hope will be dead if you refuse to hold it,

I’ll rave the word ‘love’ in all tongues ever spoken,

It’s always hot to be caught in the places where you are forbidden to be,

 

SHADES QUEEN (with obvious disgust)

I’ll play under one condition,

If cockies  vanish from my visual field,

Lock them in the jar,

 Send them back to the kitchen,

I want a strong guarantee,

They won’t escape from their prison,

These weirdos from Madagascar deserve the worst fate,

 

BREATHTAKING and FRAGILE

It’s funny to watch people’s reaction,

When they face cockies being kept as pets,

Some people wince,

The majority is disgusted,

Some people are frightened,

Only few daredevils are open minded,

To touch, to pat, to hold them in their hands,

 

Book of Crosswords angrily chases roaches with a well-sharpened pencil. Cockroach Philosophy Teacher hides under the saucer. Book of Crosswords  drops into a deep bow before Shades Queen.

I give you my word, madam,

No harasser will ever annoy you again,

Don’t sow doubts,

And you won’t reap tears,

The sunrise is awesome,

But it’s due to expire,

                                  Mesdames, Messieurs,

S’il vous plait,

 Clues!
