Reach For the Book

A revised riff on Brecht’s sage advice… reach for the book & smack a redneck upside the head hide a Glock in a carved out bible burn pages to build a fire under capital stack by dozens to make a homeless house send pages in urgent bottles out to sea make literate airplanes & conduct a wordful raid wrap fish & serve to the recycled poor blow your nose & clean your ears in public throw spitwads @ cops weave a blanket of shredded words lift repeatedly for Jack LaLanne biceps & pecs toss through your landlord’s window hit together & create a zen slap open for the sake of fresh air sniff for memories & optional futures kick to save your dog from pain step on for out of reach hope
