ved yell over a helluva

OW many more can you
be here don’t just glare
says the DAYS drug out
right down to the knock-
knock-knock in my ears
pult so in to this door,
plumb now till ya pound,
down its fleur de lis points
to the pure-dee ground so
who sits all prettily shuts
my lips and moves his
pouts out down to the
cliff to the other big end
of a suez canal where we
live we’re alive but we’re
on the wrong side well hell
say alive as the curtain
goes up just as certain
times coattails drown
pine cones to cups i’m
down to square down 
to all that’s awedded
right here, oh how m

glib ‘ready ribbed

til the devil’s own
june once or so
we’ll around

round the bend
in a diabetic lump
clump of pills in
our hands, poor
hands run the
stairs all the
way to the door
what a ham-
footed ham
holy hell holy
damn nah it’s
holy toledo and
we’ll boogie
til the birds
of the disco
do their rhyme
chill their chirp
shrill their trill
and who’ll care
what the hell when
the car squeaks around
all the way to the bluff
which upon lives a man
hear the car shimmy up
hear the door’s big kathunk
which is no car door no this
kathunk’s up a chunk up
there on that floor just a
like it’s at us as we
’re down 
on all eight (that’s two sco
res dunka-dunk dunka-dunk
dunka-dunk) and no less th
an it is and what’s more it 
is four.  yes a four that’ll
guess at the who or the
what (it’s absurdly a whom,
and you knew) that kaboom 
down it fell what a dear that’s 
the door he says what it is that
he means that’s my man that’s 
my man what he’s made out of 
me when that fist hissed the do
or. it’s a hit that he made me 
my hitman he banged and 
it flew to the floor!

2 of the 4 that'll hit the floor
