Vesuvius |
| Trying to clip the creek to the bank with a clothes pin |
| Waterlogged system, rusty spring, faulty planning |
| Logic squeezed out like mustard at a corndog |
| Hypertension is not wisdom, chewing the leather straps |
| Trying to hold the sun still with a bobby pin |
| Burned fingers. |
| excellent conductor of heat |
| Private fantasies are not public policy |
| Christian charity is a doily over my death boner |
| Busy work is not the Great Wall of China |
| Vanity bamboo hut out back behind the big house |
| Pretend is salve for whitey-boy guilt |
| Furiously slapping at the moon with a cane pole |
| Trying to prop up the heavens with a fresh flat pencil |
| Some folks are allergic to rubber |
| I am trying to stitch this one to all the rest of them |
| But the seams will split, collide and cleave |
| Neopolitan ice cream is never truly integrated until it’s too late |
| Trying to stop the bleeding with scotch tape |
| Platelets spoil adhesion, fire up the cauterizing iron |
| It’s a branding of necessity not scarification |
| Bliss was a pimple that I tried to pop |
| It erupted up and out on my countenance |
| Ugly eruption, Vesuvius, ugly eruption, Vesuvius |
| Ugly eruption, Vesuvius |
| Vesuvius at myself, Vesuvius at myself |
