Blue Beret
I gave my beret
a twirl
on its nipple
sent it
flying
on a course
that knocked
the alarm
clock sideways
It was the day
President Kennedy
was shot
The red Bell
radio stood silent
on the personality
cabinet with peg
legs and bottom
drawer that always stuck
I picked up
the beret
and turned it
until the bullet
left its blue
body
Lost Enclosure
closer
after the mishap
(misspelt) rites
of love
our
would-be baby
would not
be
