The Home Songs

# 3. Famous Birds and Snails

Fame must taste like methamphetamine

crack cocaine and the pink

in neopolitan ice cream to want to keep it

on the tongue

all the while

 hollowing to a corpse

There are no famous birds

giving a shit at the bus stop

for a good cause

“It’s for the birds”

not this

not fame

Too busy co-ordinating vision streams

from eye to eye 

to give perspective

on Facebook trending memes

Snails play to the cheap seats

they need the cash

a lot of upkeep on the shells

global warming yes

it is a snail issue

thank you very much

snail-ist bitch

Fame is not a trait of birds

maybe the cassowary.
