If Love and Care Be

If love and care be like The material the wealth and the riches That people hug that people kiss Ready to undo anything between them By control plus X If love and care be like The clean water in a desert spring That people stage athletic races Competing to suck and sprinkle with Their tongues to lick If love and care be like The bodies we carry with us And the heels on our limbs A thorn can’t survive a day By the needle we unthorn If love and care be The gourds full of milk We shake firm with care Not to let spill a drop With tongues we wipe spillover If love be like the urge- To urinate and throw dungs However much the limited time The former and latter can’t hang With tissues careful to wipe safe’
