Clashing and smashing the garbage man came
and took cookies out of the oven.
Out of context in the wrong space the
garbage man keeps pace,
the pace car is in a race. Nonsense,
he tries to erase his place on the totem pole.
The baker gingerly drove the garbage truck
to the dump just as the timer went off.
He’s at a loss to why the flies are buzzing,
in his ear while the beep, beep of backing up
distracts from him parallel parking and
he can’t remember where he left his cookies.
Did he toss his cookies or lose them
or did he lose his marbles,
at least he still has his steely,
and what is the garbage man
doing in his the kitchen?

I love it...esp. "and what is the garbage man/doing in his kitchen?"
and "The baker gingerly drove..."
A fun read.
Um, this very much reads like a dream I had recently. Very fun, fresh language, and you've really conveyed that awful out-of-place feeling.
