Summer sister sends her love to the minister A blank verse cursed eye lids pursed Ten dollar attraction for 5 cent of a fraction Love a friend dies like the fog of the early morning Friends forgive themselves after they have left the home stead Snow melts as slow as milk molds further Centimeter sticks of solute Streets where I was not born Streets where I am headed full horned Pious pity for the peasants which we all are Scribbling for forgiveness from our dear Lord A man unseen unheard and not to be feared The way of the law is the way of us all Nature needeth not the glaring eye of suspicion The heat the head the fingers the release The treasure of might that relieves all the stresses of the week Of the calender Of the foghorn of maliciousness throughout this plagued and misfortunate world I can't take it much longer I've got to see the world The scope of the time lapse trembles underneath the eye of a child Underneath the fingernail of God Skyscrapers screaming for justice for they were built by the hands of the over fed The overworked The tricked and the deceived I cannot go on if this is how it all is for the rest of time Pie eating contests with cherry filled hormones Hot dog churches eyes bursting the soul lifeless and thirsty These people were born into a life not embraced and unbred Now with the hour striking double midnight The raven cracking his beak on my skull The water dripping like the falls I've never seen Bursting flames of white torrent flush underneath the whisper of God's hush To be here to be there to be anywhere underneath the sky's glare We are specks of conversation left at the dinner table With a red lipstick kiss and a number A frown and a glint of the flirtatious eye Women and men living together in imperfect harmony Lies that lay alive and writhing and seething and high and mighty breathing These friends of mine whom I hold dear are getting much older As am I As am I and yet the sky The bright blue egg crack yellow sky Rests in infinite Youthful Romance
