ONLY ROT, WHERE....the QUOTE?
Been to market
where your sack of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
Been to plate
where your dish of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
Been to brief
where your note of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
Been to coffin
where your glance of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
Been to ear
where your whiff of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
Been to gratitude
where your sound of wise
get wrote rot
wrote WROTE WROTE
bin to that gratitude
bin to that ear
bin to that coffin
bin to that brief
bin to that plate
bin to that market pounded what
pounds pounded
pound
pounded hats off;
What has any shelf to avoid
other than
the hastiness
that hindered its existence
near the time
that does not allow to shelf sliver of NONE
for fear it might
fall down
tidy the hands of the cleaner
that pop up
once upon time,
different from this and that time.
