Kit Kelen #544 - you can take your cave with you wherever you go

544

you can take your cave with you everywhere you go

I make myself small to get through

it's a long way back where I'm beckoned

I heed

I hollow myself out to receive

I take my time

I know time will take me

but here I am

all the world pours in

I take off my head to make needed adjustments

remove all my gonads to think

I let the sun dry my socks

into my heart I allow all the creatures

as often as reasonable I go in there

nil by mouth overnight

so there'll be fast to break

I do a little pirate dance

and walk the plank

walk water too

I have a little ladder

directly to the roof

some days inhabit an ache

I let the moon in then

disgust myself with all this I

get a symphonic sense of the scene

and up to old tricks

I'm teaching the dog

I wear the washing till it's dry

keep a few hearts up my sleeve

and sometimes fart

to shoot the breeze

spend the last shilling

go decimal wild

do ape's shit?

of course they do

I roll all my strength and all

throw myself into the thing

and frequently bounce back

I'm on the hook

I'm flapping about

it's only a matter of time

head spins

drums come for the street

the news of the world

projects of a screen

I see by the light

of a very old fire

that kind of thing sweats from your pores

I take my cave with me everywhere I go

in a world so wrong

my battles are few

I really must be a coward

truly, believe me

I have to believe

that's how I'm telling the tale
