imagine a childhood sling
the kind you weren’t allowed
able to sling a house
too many four year olds
lost their parents by mistake
when playing with their sling
they weren’t annoyed
or angry or silly
just playing with their sling
one moment of inattention by the mother
and who knows where she and the house
and daddy are
the worst is when a four year old
flings the sling doesn’t click
and slings the neighbours’ houses too
one poor child
got so carried away with play
he slung his entire town away
and that’s why
nowadays
slings are banned
and that’s why
nowadays
modern towns are so horrible
no playful child has slung the horrible houses away
while mother was distracted
by her family’s horrible fate
mothers
fathers
dogs & cats
