Kentucky Rainbows
I'm going to wrap a herd of
Kentucky Rainbows together.
I won't let them fly from
my arms like gauzed gazelles.
The man who butchers
butterflies sold full ears to me.
He planted them when he
thought he was a heirloom.
These bushels of corn were
wrapped in rainbow when born.
Now if I go on vacation Im torn
because I need to plant soon
Now he wants to plant rotten
rose gardens in bloom.
He won't get married in a
field of Kentucky Rainbows.
I can't wait to pull kernals
of Rainbows like teeth.
I can plant them out side
my barn the size of an ark.
I sit by the door feeling
rich shucking my Rainbows.
I'll feel safe if I can plant rows
of corn able to resist a flood.
