if
one means to be the least bit accurate
there
are bigger mistakes to be made
along
with more interesting
consequences
as you take it an
octave higher than any dog-eared hymnal would
ever recommend
Sworn to green scenes right out of the tide book
w/bubbles & like glistening
catalogs of subtropical flowers
as printed on silk sleeves of fog
If I wasn’t there you’d have to
dream up someone else to talk to someone
else who wouldn’t listen because the song the
wind sings in the palm trees is cranked up to
10 on the voodoo dial & if you had wings
you’d probably make a similar sound
drenched
in corrugated steel
if
there was any other way to say it
