appendages flailing you re running at me ferocious tenaciously clawing at me the devious gelatin holding me fast miraculous now you let me move past over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze the tip of stalactites incising my knees a slipper a sand dollar day at the shore nice evening at home that i dread even more would you please make clear to me i m peering out through your opacity though you rehearse tomorrow s verse forgive me if i don t sing in your key look back on those days when my life was a haze the gelatin lay on a truncated sleigh copernicus drank from a vessel that stank from the freemason s crank to the overflow tank bane of the weasel for biding is fun jump on the turnstile and watch me go round swim with the cactus and float with the stone i try to convey what you strive to condone would you please make clear to me i m peering out through your opacity though you rehearse tomorrow s verse forgive me if i don t sing in your key would you please make clear to me why nothing is the first thing that i see and if you do and i see you then you will be the nothing left for me
