The Incredibility Of Being Earnest

Because, then all their problems are

laid bare, like their Batchelors, Bridewise.

Because surrealism is taking heart and mind

and making candy.

Because my poetry is like the last words of

Dutch Schultz….well, slow dance on the killing 

ground.

You take steps to become human.

I remember when I learned to tie my shoe.

And, the rollercoaster goes down, do I

dare to eat a peach and the like.

Kinda like the Blues, the Dance of Death

written slow. 

When I was young, It went off like clockwork.

Now, I’m not sure of the date.

But, (coda) it hasn't stopped me yet.

It hasn't stopped yet yet.
