Sicilian Pillion

SICILIAN PILLION What rules apply when there’s conflicting rules It’s a shrug of the shoulders and C’est la Guerre No chance of seeing or stealing any crown jewels There’s little recompense from such an affair Injectable doses you need are in these ampoules When there’s little logic, structure or form It’s a free for all and that can easily offend It won’t be your lover who keeps you warm Just some poor writer who’s round the bend So look up at the sky and call down the storm When all words are laid out exactly as planned And symmetry glows like a scented candle But something is telling you to take a stand There’s so much more that you can’t handle Just be grateful that you think you understand
