Dead Mouth
Write it on the window,
in big bold letters.
Write it on the wall,
in wet black ink.
Spray it on the overpass,
in bright green graffiti.
Write it with your finger,
on an empty desk
.
Yell it loud when you're mad,
tell it when it suits you best.
Spread it thoroughly when you're depressed.
Laugh when its mentioned,
whisper it to the listening wind,
pray it to the unhearing gods,
throw it for the dog to catch,
nail it to a wall and frame it,
eat it when you're hungry,
write it on the back of your hand,
scribble it on a blank page in your notebook,
lick it on your strawberry sucker,
just never forget it's there.
