Mr. Junkman

nothing scares you

here

that's the secret

a shadow

planet

the story goes

robots made

out of xmas lights

old buckets +

jelly jars

emptied long ago

little strawberry brain-scans

the window

was busted

by mr. junkman

everybody

tries

to hear

what he has to

say

one of those old-

fashioned

make-believe

telephones

mr. junkman

was a mystery

even to himself

backwards-walker

river-talker

leaves in his teeth

there's nothing

here, the

battery is dead

sleep in, sleep in

mr. junkman

likes to

sleep late
