Jumping Beans

We eat-
and we commit,

we saunter
and we feel it-

the wisdom,

the wire’s,

the welding of the mire to the person who is inspired-
an envelope licked by the man they call sire...


The literal
is pitiful,

so spin the skull
and make some mold,

take a poll,

read a skull,

enter when you’re full,
ask them to list the goals-


be motion while it’s on the phone,

black people when they’re away from home

festering lingerer’s un-laid by their bones

a drink-
cheap but hits the hole’s...


A young person preen,

a peacock mean,

a regular man green,

ridiculous and obscene!


Motion of the sea,

movement of falling beans-

music in the reef.
