Ouch! Says The Saint

Ouch! says the saint as he

Divests himself of the love

Of created objects.

Love! says the hippie

Chickadee dee dee dee!

But when he is bare,

And shivering there

What then? says the hen.

How now? my brown cow.

What is this?

Says the instructress.

A cool snowlocked

Wisdom

Out of earshot

Scream and kiss

Calm? Dead?

A better compost

Than most?
