Mistakes as Art

Pratfalls

Hey Pip
It slipped
Off the cliff
Cousin Edward
An oddball
Misfit kid
Fingers stabbing
Our eyes
Maniacal laugh
Utterly deranged
Just kidding
Louise and I
Say that to each other
Life off the rails
Freefall
Caterwauling through
Time and space
It slipped
Big time
And how
Mistakes pile up
Near misses
Endless pratfalls
Chin music
Dodge ball
Things coming at us
Blistering speed
Daily challenges
Chaos theory
Hit and miss
Getting back
On the horse
Vocabulary of
Adversity
Threads of mishegos
Woven into
Tapestries of
Quixotic reason
Drips and drabs
Off the chart
Fabricated as
Outsider art
Not making sense
Its own weird
Paradigm
