Sleep the beast

Sleep the beast
There is only enough time for
Muffins, haircut, movie
Whatever else falls into our combined lap
Is chocolate, bonus, extra ball

All this love is keeping the mud off
Slick, oiled, shiny
When the tragedy squeaks
Abandon the wagon
Steal another platform with wheels
Conversion, stadium, fascia

In another hundred years there will be bacon made from dandelions
Instead of gasoline
The kids can play with it
Then eat it
Or just take it up intravenously
Blister pack, coal mine, Samsonite

Feeding the things that feed back
Would be too easy
Rotate, fallow, compromise
Better to dry the onions with padded bras
And wonder why the tint is tainted
Red, green, blue

Rub the enhancer deep
Deep enough to forget
That it is not a part
But foreign item
Dutyfree, barcode, apart
Strip the split egg by pinching
The squeeze will never tear
Versatile, tenacious, unbreakable
But it will keep the marks
Eyeline, lipgloss, rosyblush
It will always be onewith
Never alone again
Genepool, cesspool, deadpool

A river that feeds
A fruit that bleeds
A candy that owns
A mistake that atones

For all the work that gets done
There will still be remainders
Fraction, divisible, inadvisable
