Scherzo
Like cash on trees of poor
I hear the great boy-man
sure as referent goes
His fire is set by law
His history is of flight
His pride a sealed container
with truth to burn
His motive is a laugh
His hope a preparation
oh, for a marriage of topaz
and sugarless gum
Objective Burma Shave
With heavy heart pounding
love not given love
math done by organism
that pays for dough in recipe
from universe direct
We too brave countless
swing royal axe backward
drive shiny loaf of bread
on threat of vernacular
stopping at the crust half-eaten
