Gaze upon this looking shift and pale,
Casting lines and drift, soon gone,
Great pots stewing, frothing, steaming laddle,
Drifting in and out within clouded songs,
Sheer drop and scratch a scream, jump,
Summit down and crawl out of the bedposts,
Carry-all bags, chapsticks, money lumps,
Jungle rhythms escalate or rattle most,
Whew, that was close, so decide a crime,
Fix-er-upper down-and-outter foxtrot,
Lime deposit and mind the signs,
"King clot the dust mot": what he wrote,
Singing penury, the red-blooded dowry,
My wife, till life-do-us-conjoined,
Like rotting, mushroomed and flowery,
Selling scores to buy a coin,
And if you can sense of this make,
Light halos suffer clouds down,
A hidden word lose with head shake,
Wear a beating Chevy hub-cap crown.
Go ahead. Be my outcast.
