beacon on the rock salt (152-153)
who runs the show ????
the old man who looks and breathes like solomon
he says
DONT MOVE A MUSCLE
especially near the circles and pentagons
and other shapes
that dont fit
this square hole
but the breeze on my cheek
seems content enough
i only weep now for
a loss of thread between us
peace , rest , what a gift
i have come home , i no longer wander
trust is
the watchword
//
MONSTRO !!!! LOOK AT ME !!!!
a winner on the jumbotron
2 sides of the minted coin
good , evil
see the thing , as truth -
CONSCIOUS CONTACT WILL KEEP YOU OFF THE COUCH
filled with grease
with a millstone
hung around your neck
filled with foreign substance -
NOT TODAY - YOU WERE A HEEL GRABBER , TODAY , A GRAPPLER
lay it all down
lay it all down
lay it all down
lay it all down -
