silly alligator
you are just the navigator
so sit back
and wriggle your nose
nothing to supposedly do
all is prepared for you
come relax your mind
and unwind for an hour or two
fish will be fried and ready when you return
come learn the secrets of the unopened book
a hook and a crook
a fluke and a whale
a chosen son
who could never be followed
i seek the exit
but what about the present
forget the unexpected
and elect the resurrected
set backs are an opening
a minor compliance
just follow the signs
to your own self reliance
gone are the blossoms
who spread all their seeds
here are the thirsty ones
for the light that you feed
poetry confounds me
while your love resounds in me
all is beauty
untouched by ***** fingers
all is singing
god is a verb
control the swelling
by pressing it with cinnamon
lets begin again
hands down
you were the best lover i ever had
so stand back and please don’t attack
if i'm red as a rose
pressed to your nose
then unfold the pages
and we'll compare notes
