Head first into the head board

Im shatter proof

The cranial impact

Taps something true

If i could grab your attention

With my styrofoam rattle box

Youd smile away my transgression

And tap something lost



A spitball to the ribcage

My useless heart hit

Were slap happy the livelong day

Neck and neck

If i could grab the man on a street

With my raspy rattled plan

My only personal property

A raspy whispered plan



A bottle green sky

Stinging yellow hair

In a dizzy of deviation

Giddy in the glare

If i could grab this whirligig

And keep it in my arms

Wed persevere through what is here

And mourn what is gone



A smokers gift

And a childs hell

Cut through the air

Drown out all that other sound
