Ode To Captain Beefheart

Your patterns defy

patterning...

     pity-pattering

of tiny neon feet

      no-mattering

of convenient conventioning

(an odd ode surprise why not)

just to show us rules are

expedient/not to be trusted

as well as      tickle

our    tinkle

tinsel

         confetti

                     laughing

gonzo

             ears.
