Envelopes of Oatmeal Psychology

burn the light of fire

and wax the ears of injustice.

 

chide the moon

and bid ado to the reckless sun.

 

count the blessings of misfortunes

and wave verbs in the air--

breathing the hopeful breaths of married sandals

 

Label the pains of a billion rain drops and fawn the feathers

of a nightingale over the glory of failed

triumphs known as yesterday.

 

break the hands of a wristwatch and make a ******* of time--

for through the God in Satan was how Earth was won.
