Cows, Calf, Reptiles and Whale
The Earth Offers It's Soil:Black suede cows and calf
alone on the range
graze on the ground they'll go back to
through journeys of
screeching, oozing life's pink paths.
All around this town
James Brown white
dancers dance on ice.
They fall and laugh.
James is an easy listen for a white dancer.
Not for me,though.
Not for me:
"I'm BLACK and I'm PROUD!"
All around this town
James Brown white
dancers dance on ice
They fall, laugh and insult easily.
Reigning reptiles regale
the country's trees with their
tales, tails, tales, tails:
slimy slithers and cordially
cracking, plastered croaks.
They slip and cough
when they go back to the ground
from which they came
screeching, crying and screaming
in pink provided paths.
All around this dance
James Brown singers sing on memories.
They fall and laugh.
The Sea Offers It's Fountains:
Winsome white whales:
blowing alone in seas of decrees.
They beach themselves
for all their blood to see
sometimes
No ground to go back to
they wind their spines in majestic
mortality, peaceful in their whale's
wave.
Finit.
