edit 3 thanks Chris and rowens
A piece of my mind detangled
from webs of nerves and veins
jumped off like breaded ginger
from my bedtime story brain.
Started hide and seeking
in a zoo of memories
with hippos and the lion's cub;
giggles melded into breeze.
Jumped ship in tiger seas,
canvas sails flapped without flair,
eye-patched toddlers ruled the decks
grinning down from seagulls lairs.
Dodged cannonballs and greyhounds
and kept the chase up strong
till shadow recrossed heaven
and settled back where it belonged.

A piece of my mind detangled
from webs of veins and nerves
jumped off like breaded ginger
into bedtime stories’ worlds.
Played a game of hide n seek
with my memory’s hidden zoo
of hippos, zebras, lion’s cubs
till they sprouted wings and flew.
Jumped ship in tiger seas,
as canvas sails flapped lacking flair,
eye-patched toddlers ruled the decks
grinning down from seagulls lairs.
Dodged cannonballs and greyhounds
and kept at the chase so long
its shadow recrossed heaven
to land back where it belonged.

Played a game of hide n seek
with my memory’s hidden zoo
of hippos, zebras, lion’s cubs
wearing neon: Can’t find me!
It jumped ship in tiger seas,
lacking mettle made of steel,
canvas sails flapped drab and empty
and eye-patched toddlers ruled the decks
grinning down from seagulls lairs.
It dodged cannonballs and greyhounds
and kept at the chase so long
its shadow recrossed heaven
to land back in dermis coats.
