It Never Ends

 

Like a pin ball

Flipped by the New Moon

Flipper,

Rolling, racing, happily,

Ecstatically,

Madly from bumpers

To buzzers to lights,

Riding the edges

Of tilt and outshoots

Slapped by the Full Moon

Flipper

Back into the flashing

The beeps and the buzzes,

Until a slip on

An angle

And it’s between the flippers

Into who knows where

Or how and why

There’s a sudden kick

In the ass and you’re shot

Back into the bings

And the bongs

The smiles and the laughter

Lovers getting it on.
