A Boat
Richard Brautigan

 

O beautiful

was the werewolf   

in his evil forest.   

We took him

to the carnival   

and he started   

   crying

when he saw

the Ferris wheel.   

Electric

green and red tears   

flowed down

his furry cheeks.   

He looked

like a boat

out on the dark   

water.
