The Group
It's beautiful, the whole dam business, the circle,
the new and distant friends, the words formed,
which blow away; like Zeek and Ike and Calloway;
and the dark sky, rests; and I find a jilted tree, not
far from the buzz, and the busy blue-breezed, hussy;
the chicken on the step, persisting its gibberish neck;
but, heavy in eye, I melt into the lavatory; with its
pirouetting flies, and dark satanic skies, of cracked
vermillion tiles; nonetheless; this is my life; thank
you for the friends, the words, and my wonderful wife;
the sweet afternoon-wind kisses, my old locks, and spent
near-misses; and the quality, rhyming-time ; and I can’t
disguise my reprise, my dread-locked naked smile, and
goatee-spilling beard, latching on to the fertile, busy-breeze,
and its warm fertile ease; but despite all this; I’ll wait; I’ll wait
for the borrowed lies, the perky anchor’s, version of the news;
her treated, trusty lemon skies. I'll wait.
