Arrangement
Posted: January 21st, 2017, 11:31 am
I used to be slimy & rare,
going to glib tell parties
and building boats of substance with a finish of tiger blur
It was nothing for me to fearlessly infringe
on parts of the boundless and clock the rates of yoke & chair
& the strain on the ordinary when I was
a trip boy going around sticking my leg into chilly mailboxes
before I learned to take a seat in a jealous land
My mind now is entirely accidental and I take salt with my wine.
I keep the adjectives in my cellar well-fed,
the verbs in the attic sedated until needed,
and the nouns have run
of the main floor
So far this arrangement
has worked out well
