world
waitin' on a turn
for the tornado to land,
the bomb to dissolve,
the sweet tart to sweeten more,
the napalm to be a rumor,
the beef to make love to the rice,
the soup in a monster's mouth,
the aardvark in an armadillo's dream,
the pinkie toe in her mouth,
the lips warmed by the cool waters,
the night full of the day's rumors,
the treaty to call off all wars,
schools have to teach what this thing of peaceful is,
the end of Pepsi ads,
the teaching of where to clit is for young boys,
the soft side of a mule's face,
the next domino ready to fall,
the worst is the first and the blast is the last,
nothing here but some homemade popcorn
and bad jokes
as we clutch onto what we know
and

ready our descent to the end knowing
we will never really
know

as
the
grassy knoll fades
away from all our
perceptions
on
the
delirious ride
soon
to us
fuckin'
up these folks in Iraq ..
