as I say I do
this is not
the that
in a convention of ole' seances
removed from boulders
word play lays
in the labia
of the foundation
iterating
to the wealth
of the tease
of an elastic need
betwixt a rambling
pseudo-intellectual
remembered years after
millenniums
for his bravery
knavery is kind
and kind is simplicity
sometimes
often times
I scream at the mirror
without looking at it
because the reflections
meandering
round the floor
is the poem
I tried to write
hair
your hair
my memory
my sorrow
my poem
