opal
| He sat down | 1 |
at his average-sized desk | 2 |
in his cuboid office and plotted. | 3 |
A Big Bang. | 4 |
No-one noticed he was gone | 5 |
until a long time after. | 6 |
The force sent him spinning, | 7 |
a human gyroscope through zodiac | 8 |
charms on a silver bracelet. | 9 |
| |
The ram charged and tossed him, | 10 |
a snapping crab caught him, | 11 |
water carrier washed him | 12 |
after a rampaging bull had gored him. | 13 |
A virgin seduced him; golden scales | 14 |
weighed him; the archer’s sure flighted arrow | 15 |
shot him before the lustrous-maned lion tore him | 16 |
limb from limb then voraciously | 17 |
ate him. There was some disquiet | 18 |
at his disappearance | 19 |
but regularity resumed | 20 |
when his identical twin | 21 |
took his place | 22 |
at the average sized-desk. | 23 |

Grassy arse both.
Though I don't entirely concur, I love to see you both write at the bottom of my poem.
— opal
and now he's swimming with the fishes -- from a cubicle to the cosmos in as above so a low blow with humour the magic -- made me smile opalarious
— AlchemiA
i love to hear about the zodiac, and this was a charming, entertaining read.
i guess it would have been too over the top to include them all, however, a goat would be easily seen trampling, cheating, or stealing trying to climb the corporate ladder--but then again, this desk is average, so that just wouldn't do. no, it wouldn't. good call. (no offense to you capricorns). =-)
nice poem, opal.
— jenakajoffer
That is all I hope for AlchemiA - the mental picture of you smiling.
— opal

— raskolniikov
