XLIX
Le Poison
Even fishermen join the mounting singing the soupy crowd of blowhards
Cracking a safe over uneven floorboards
And making coffee. Sir, are you certain he said it was allowed
Or did anyone dare to ask? The red caped wonder man
The chocolate bar hero’s assistant The Laundry Man opens the mail boxes crouching
Or what if one was only a safe cracker unable to make bread never seen a duck headed south
Along or transfixed by a postage stamp.
However you may fumble in an underwater a bathtub cake a lolling alien in tremoring
And at dinner at beneath a ghostly chandelier at by morning
His bloated breath his bunkies already at sea and catching the wee breezes
Off stern and starboard. Whale spume and all the poisons of a creepy decade
Dripple down your late tee-shirts
Like if oh man aren’t you in a terrible fix and see, here’s comes the hanging judge
And did I mention his overdrawn or opium
Pursued by highway, desert raiders with water for their necks and their friends?
Ouch. Could it shall we stroll past she’s more ghostly as she’s bridges
An open car door, tea service, uncouth fibbery
Rolls and yodels down her tongue like a waterslide. My ghostly bride returns the letter unopened though
She at least she her chariot holds the cliff edge
Her red brows and lashes open rivers over gravity and edge’s tremolo.
