How

How these Things are taken

first the Females

cored and shaken

raked over coals

traced from fresher days

blundering through hours

of forgery

and scouring

for tastes of sweets and sours

pretending martyrs pay

blue from arrests

bored climbs obsessed

caught by changes and smacked

while dragged out of sacks

then shot in the back

paring appropriate knacks

with submissions that lack

any worthwhile fact

greedy dark fee’s

forced to useless knee’s

furthering samples

feeding and ample

blinding botched care

posing bare

whispering to causes that share

the tastiest fair

no motion to pain

if even a hair

dirty lost fiends

stealing all scenes

sharpening the stings

of overdone pleases

rare privileged drawn out body teases

carefully listen

they’re cutting shine’s line

dropping the screaming passengers

to an unwise sublime

fallen away bothers

young dense fathers

digging up potholes

eating rinds

sounding the chimes

that raise those clowns ridiculous dreams

eligible to diseases

they were all this time

bloody dares

calling to order

drawing a losing way

up the road’s broken shoulder

trips made only to fall

upon the chests of tiny men

who hate to love gall

personal reasons

to murder for treason

this is the season

to bless the spin

strapped to their backs

stepping in sin

let the flailing hunt begin

tracking the crackling break

to the head of a pin

of the craziest slender

an armless time vendor

over skies

on top of grass

touching tender

too harmless

a pretender

seamless

through all attempts to confuse

all from a window

they blocked with cement

keeping you from the view

unthinkable songs

that kissable longs

reminiscent of class

nobody remembered to ask

can you stay for a task

one night with me an unmask

swallowing numb candy

the years finest brandy

searching for a sky in the sand

a diamond being squeezed to death

in an unabashed hand
