I Am (Alastair's Ego) I am the Semantic Picasso and Culinary Hound I wonder if one hand clapping makes half a sound I hear in silent forests the falling tree's ap I see ragged chorus line angels on pinheads tap I want to see my writing printed and bound I am the Semantic Picasso and Culinary Hound I pretend on the job that I'm earning bread I feel Viagra-ed angels dancing on my head I touch leathery wings of a horny angel I worry I will never hear the falling tree's cl I cry bitter tears for this abortive sound I am the Semantic Picasso and Culinary Hound I understand that angels often need to dance I say, "Help me, I'm in a soft-shoe trance!" I dream my works included in a child's education I try to make the cl and ap estrange-ed, one I hope something hears the falling tree hit ground I am the Semantic Picasso and Culinary Hound Alicat, the Persnikitty “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most |
