Dreams of a city slumbering
Under a sallow, thunderous sky:
Beneath the pitiless neon
People live, love and die.

Dreams of pearl-grey islands
Strung on a shimmering sea;
Quietly cicadas chafe,
Amongst ancient olive trees.

Theres a man in my mouth
Who speaks hateful things
And a leering, old fogy
My eyes see
A genius lives in my head
In my brain
But he yields all his power
To my feet man
Who chauffeurs me round
In the wrong part of town
Where my hands man
Can get me in trouble!

Theres a slob in my belly
Who makes lie down
To watch endless hours
Of TV
When butt man becomes numb
He hitchhikes with my thumb
And signals me ride to get junk... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (adgurujeff) http://thesonnetboard.yuku.com/topic/5345 Thu, 21 Oct 2004 10:48:23 GMT http://thesonnetboard.yuku.com/topic/5344/t/Enamored.html to lie and be hammered.

April is the coolest month.
Everything alive and new:
flowers budding, birds returning
(pollen dust and gnats are, too).

Geese and ducks, out by the water
mating rituals displaying:
soon, theyll all be laying eggs;
today, its other geese theyre laying.

All the trees and bushes blooming
fish are jumping, robins hopping;
tadpoles turning into frogs and
squirrels, all the birdseed copping.

Clouded by buffers to the knotting ache
That ramps his limbs. The pigeons strut and peck
