bull frogs and fairy tales
pretty princess sleeping on bed of nails
unable to differentiate between dreams
and real life kisses on the lips
at the hotel hilton she sleeps in
every single sunday
undisturbed by pretty maids wielding
feather dusters and vacuum cleaners
on mondays she checks out early
wandering the commonwealth’s streets
steering clear of the king’s wishes
and searching for something italian
october two thousand sixteen
