And I despise the flowers as a gift
it's wrong to condemn something to death
by giving it

Cos it seem like f'ever I've been longing."
Tears in the eyes, phlegm in the nose,

When school kids sit those maths tests,
A couple of times each year,
They get that pale stressed look from 
No sleep and that “failure” fear.

On trampoline bed they start a circus 
Keep gold bands on hand while thinking zany thoughts  
The comic husband wears two condoms all the time

“Grit is a better word or term”.
They have it – these “Grunts” - grit –

Magical fingers illuminating sky
Vanishing zippers, blink of an eye

Dancing ballet, lovers admiring puddles
Foregoing rubbers, desiring...
