why the butter

it's more than you can catch to winnow the sun
bag slatched and cormer gone
wretch free when the witches are burning and lightning put out the wine
but they always decline when waiting in line
pardon the vegetable when lightning pours
two sticks and an egg mitten glove
it was out with the mix and in with the muffs
tagging for school the opposite bus
listening for magnets in olive slots
toothbrush frayed and washtub dry
spitting and crying in character fries
spoiling the nets and spinning the guns
ops black forward winding reels
one foot left of right
stork stalking baby steps
let her drop, it's not fable
fatal tales schooled
it's not a choice, it's an adventure
reeling the spool, testing the line
one to eat and one to crime
it wasn't suppost to happen
but the high schools dead
oceans of blue indoctrine pink
minutes accept the decline
limnination creation
the doors fled shut open
untoward gestures revived
sots bellow and don't ask why
the butter is wise
