Another Pie in the Face

by Juliet Cook

Old doll head cracked with
evil fossil stuck inside
like expired cream

filling spilling out.
Spectator of my own eye
stuck in the middle

of a missing plate
on top a stolen spoon. Full
with unspoken words.

Internal filing
cabinet, more than half of
its pages torn out.
