Blue is black when the sky is dark -
It turns back when there's a spark,
So thus harks the poet's lark
As the stray dog barks at the rotting bark.
To dream is to be alive, they say -
To scream is life's ogive, I say;
Then to pray and neigh all night and day
Is to say, "I'm dead, may there be a way."
My pen dots blue these white sheets,
My brain sorts through life's front row seats,
As it beats, repeats, meets and hits
At bits, then sits and greets on life's retreats.
To write on this paper my life's plights
Doesn't bite on the vapours when they light
Cigarettes alight - and its white light bright
Fights entropy's kites when it sights the greatest height
As the ganja-smell of the black chalks at the socks
Of the banjo knell which rocks through the walks
Does talk and knock on my locks to stalk
The lark that docks on my heart's beanstalk.
