All the poems have wolves in it -- Jim Morrison Man in bathtub with stony eyes Water getting stiller in the cold, dead night Hair long and soft as outstretched raven claws Wilted fingers grip the lip with lifelike vigor And then slip away Naked wooden marionettes writhe In dunes of ****** sawdust Shedding skin like so much baggage And baggage like so much skin Cheese-grater screams on blank faces Soon the forms are dust and then The dust is gone Inked fingers dipped in oft-repeated wisdoms Picking little crippled words And someone else's Lego bricks Shine a light on the beautiful Laugh at it Sing to it Grasp at it Quit

All the poems have wolves in it -- Jim Morrison Man in bathtub with stony eyes Water getting stiller in the cold, dead night Hair long and soft as outstretched raven claws Wilted fingers grip the lip with lifelike vigor And then slip away Naked wooden marionettes writhe In dunes of ****** sawdust Shedding skin like so much baggage And baggage like so much skin Cheese-grater screams on blank faces Soon the forms are dust and then The dust is gone Inked fingers dipped in oft-repeated wisdoms Picking little crippled words And someone else's Lego bricks Shine a light on the beautiful Laugh at it Sing to it Grasp at it Quit
