They looked to find him
to discuss his shirt.
on the front of
the large sized, great
quality cotton t-shirt
were the letters
I.-S.-D.
perfectly centered in
royal blue letters with
gold trim. And on the back
were the words,
Ya'll do it!
he had one off those portable radios
in his pocket and we just watched him.
I heard one fella call him:"Yim Doogie"
on his Pants legs were the words the words
"efined AZ'd". We just wanted to know
what these thangs said. For-reel doog.
Said she was from "Intellegencener Ragg Magg"
so we paw'd over sum grub and swigged
on sum millies, Fossier got
trill and Dank sum Havv and gnawed on Dezzert
wiff sum Strawberries and banana (with ah) sweet marsala-
and truffle oil syrup, chocolate and whipped cream and
Kake. Old Gal smiled at me
at the buffet line, I looked back in the hallway
after the interview
the heel on her shoe broke. I went to
the store and bought her some new
one's. She kissed me and told
me she wanted me to centerpiece her
and we went back and
Strummed them strangs all night long.
that i might love as
lovers do
and make woman want and need me
then they shall stand before me
to be mine
the need of belonging
the soughted bare
thus must I havest thee as mine
the keepsake of love
that as lovers we might engage to
be in love
thus the creation of our togetherness
might have others to wish us apart
curse them that we have now
to be together
curse them that they wish us apart!
HAVEST ME
AS LOVER
HAVEST ME
OH THOSE WHO WISH US
STRAINGED AND UNRAVELED
HAVEST ME
AS LOVER
HAVEST ME
THAT I STRAIN FOR
LOVE HAVEST ME!
WAST THE NIGHT
WE HAVEST TOGETHER
MAKE US LOVE
EACH OTHER
HAVEST ME
THAT I STAND IN THE DOORWAY OF FOREVER
AND OPEN THE DOOR TO LET YOU
IN HAVEST ME
MIGHT I SEEP IN YOUR EMOTIONS
AND SMILE IN HAPPINESS
MIGHT I STAND BEFORE YOU AS LOVER
HAVEST ME.
