Drop by drop by lemon drop it drips

I suppose I am a gushing frenzied fool
a pea nut buttered, wrapped in cellophane
jelly sandwich
crusted shame
who eats and is eaten up
by the jolly rogers
pirated expressionists who claim
claim to understand
I doubt it
feelings, tears, peels of laughter
shield the gut
shit storms of fears
plenty of what on God's green terra firma
is she after
do you know
or care to even touch the lucid edge
the wafting simpering shaded veil
that curtsies low to all your reasoning
discard
surround your very heart
just wall it in
I've got my climbing shoes
and this my sturdy length of rope
to scale
but I would rather walk right in
the open door
plop my rusted self
upon the heart strings there
and give a tug
a healthy tug
and wash myself refreshed
in tides of flooding love
Ah well
I wrap myself in dreams all fluttering
and pluck them one by one
forget-me-nots
forgotten long ago
a pea nut buttered, wrapped in cellophane
jelly sandwich
crusted shame
who eats and is eaten up
by the jolly rogers
pirated expressionists who claim

I doubt it
feelings, tears, peels of laughter
