The Underbelly Trimeric
On a sunny evening the colors changed;
Tossed a penny in the mall’s wishing well
sealed with a such a foreboding kiss;
I didn’t know I was close to the underbelly;
Tossed a penny in the mall’s wishing well
it spun clinking around achingly slow
‘til it landed in the water oddly straight up;
Sealed with such a foreboding kiss
a fantasy can sometimes be four alarm;
This one was mine for it felt like forever;
I didn’t know I was close to the underbelly;
Shopping then I caught a stranger’s eye;
He smiled ‘Do you believe?’ and flashed fangs.
