this
is how we burn witches 
set
out an arbitrary rule 
like
think of a number
fix
it in the mind 
whistle
the dogs will come 
learn
your tables
some
would like this tucked up, swept
it's
only a whisper of gossip to light 
matches
and kerosene these days 
see
them swoon away in the fumes 
once
alight 
they
burn by themselves
fire
of hell's already in them 
don't
have to be grownups for this 
and
this is the way we wash our hair 
wash
our hair wash our hair 
this
is the way we wash our hair 
so
early in the morning 
time
passes over the event 
I like the screams the best 
 
451, and the books chorus
