Chew the gum, Chew the fat,
or pick up a book
but not everything is fact
chew your words, chew your shoe,
or advance your rook
gum gumbo stew
Crack a nut, crack a joint
or run till you drop
a word to get to the point
crack the whip, crack cocaine,
chew a pack
i feel your pain.
...
run the guantlet, run the table
run as fast as you are able
chew this rawhide, crack this code,
kiss God's feet and thank the lord.
allamand left, star to your right.
...
lies multiply, increasing interest
in a dance squared to fit
euphoric questioning, so we're drawn
towards fat literary fun
automatically
...
the symptoms apparent and startling
in their banality,
yet, i'd take two of each
and fook reality.
the charm of manners
goosebumps for no apparent reason
heat-stroke frost-bite out of season
touching keys whenever i pass by
or looking from my sick bed out to the bright blue sky
life takes time
sometime it's a tiny flame
sending a forest ablaze
a quenching rain,
against a mosquito screen
