don't knock the landing

the sole broken shoe strings
remove their toes before work
the bower closes foot stomping
grapes remove shoes floor their feet
a whiff of fresh air, the drunks come flying
wee tipsy-chords in a ply of thigh
wouldn't tapestry Arabian rugs
horn blistern eastern side
thought scream before it was real
daftness set aside for tuning
lockstep untide of the lake'ish kind
kid in a can locked in a box
all subsidies on the side
the corner market bought none
the coroner thought twelve to nine
it was only orange after
knocks on the side with a flurry of pine
opens a birthday of wine
September broaches November
twelve booking three for overtime
nothing's in the pantry.  the coast is clear
all the flies are dead
cinder sipped beneath the surface
watching the waves go by
a triton pacifies the pastor
parking just to fly
daftness steps aside
lockstep adieu
don't knock the landing
