save a little time

the captain sights and fights Catherine
sights a tune and carries away
over the path and light as gel
and the ocean lept over trees
it was green yesterday and yellow the day before
then came the rabbit sweep
full of purple and filled with fleas
the catnip full and please
lost in pavement over shadows
watching horizons with a dutch ear pride
listening in on the equation was part of the problem
the solution is letting it run
easier once you got used to the slime
and pride got in the way of cold
there was no solution in the horizon
just bedrock pies and ocean teas
a rock before noon to ply the trade
and never a wish you won't receive
daughter wise finds too much haze
a smoky head to make you higher
and a dust shadow before noon
watching the tires spread their feet
desinex the treads
dimes between their pliers
plies why changing
oster path and watcher climb
limbers light and fells fall
all that remains
buys a little time
cathy seems depressed
all that lightning in decline
she wants wine
never the tester ply
walk an evening in both directions
where fine goes awry
nassom limbo
only when the fidget cries
hard as noon in a bent tree blind
laughter snoozed a line or two
left the bed and went beyond sleeping
it may be helpless but it left tryin
dreams knocking beyond the hurry
