I've Had This Stuck in My Head

I tried to be



the basilica



of your slippery



skin & bell.



I tried to be



a chime



a chest could



visit.

My po-po class talked about this poem yesterday & now I can't get these lines out of my head. I just keep repeating them. It's kind of similar to getting a Cocteau Twins song stuck in my head. Dissimilar to having a cockatoo stuck in your head. I do have a cochlea stuck in my head. Maybe more than one.
