of ****** rings, and other songs I sing

when a lost muse is no excuse,

when the mundane and the profane

are away on summer holiday,

and you are currently on the divine’s

'u **** - no write list'

 

nonetheless the itch in the private

spaces is driving you crazy,

write a poem, write a poem,

in the way a grandmother

(or a mother to a grown child)

whiny nags,

*its a nice day, go outside and play

with a strange man*,

whatcha ya gonna do, the walls are all painted,

and the good bad boys are out of town, all with the  

*other bad good girls,

who got there first,*

but we will write of

nipple-rings and

other crazy songs you sing

 

it is not important you the reader understand every verse,

like Patton said, "it only matters that I know,"

 

which line is a joke,

which around your neck is

your customized yoke,

which is why:

plaintive wail to no avail,

the regret that never can be sated,

the frustration cratering inside the chest,

which is just,

(and unjust)

just enough

to make a semi-satisfactory smile

upon the lips appear

 

whose lips?

who cares?

as long as you don't have to hear me sing my poetry

but hear me smiling at

the power of whimsy writing

and the return of

my no longer muzzy^
