Red-Headed

I can think of six
paroxysmical rages
just before breakfast

& I have more wroth
before I make scrambled eggs
when I awaken…

& when I swing, Oh
fractious day! Callooh! Callay!
SO! JUST YOU WATCH OUT!

a Jabberwocky
of intracranial hell
those Euminides

now I’m calm; stillness
equilibrium attained
tranquillity now

psychic doldrums with
feelings atrabilious
melancholia…

I WANT MY BREAKFAST!
why is it taking so long
& where are my eggs?
