the frozen mile
is a flower that smiles
the remaindered paperback of your years
spent in cages
the lion
is in your thoughts
i heard it roar
how
i don't really know
i'll bet you half a ham and pickle
sandwich
but
forget it
please
pass the rhododendrons
we'll arm ourselves
like the police
the flower that smiles
with bullets
no
no
no
no
no
time bruised you
but it was all in good fun
we'll trade one reality
for fifty others
one buick for
a peach
one dollar for
a thousand
