lyrics

waiting for the experimenter,
a glorious, glowing blood-hound hobbles
down the street. his simple breathing
looks like smiles. how should I know
what to do when I remember
what this is?
that shining paradox that
removes our birth-names,
turns us on our heads like
monkey-bar hangers.

oh, they make the truth look so ominous;
none of us want to stop
and pet it like a passing puppy-dog.
has the experiment already started?
have they been watching me
read poetry under my breath
like ordered blessings?
wondering where I came from
with my flaming head?
how much longer must I wait
til I see flamingos necking,
just to tease me for my
ill intentions, for the heart
I did not know was
due south, for the elephants
wading by water troughs,
feeling wise?
