Waiting for the Milkmaid
(Ken’s Smiles)
lyrics ©2006 Ken Clinger

a roller coaster freight train
relating to a food stamp.
cowboy mitochondria
lurking in the boot camp.
a hibernating traffic light
dreams of dancing highways.
a corporation spider
monitoring ashtrays.

waiting for the milkmaid
counting passing trees.
resting in the moment
buzzing with the bees.

morticians pray for asteroids.
a single-minded eggplant
trembles from a complex,
while gazing at a Rembrandt.
a turkey in cold water
eyes a vacuum cleaner.
a dolphin buys insurance
in case of misdemeanor.

an atom made of hydrogen
remembers how to line dance.
a smiling cashier genuflects
when asked about past romance.
furthermore, a polar bear
nonchalantly tiptoes
past the trembling eggplant
in search of melting ice flows.

waiting for the milkmaid
counting passing trees.
resting in the moment
buzzing with the bees.
