The Day of Mammoth Projects


What a smile! ideas repel down strings tied to what?
Wedged in the elm branches you will find a wedge
Sharp enough to split a block of oak likely sharp
O surely sharper than a few sheltered flowers O
How can these little shits bloom in winter tell me how
Long before that blackness under the trees the long
Shadows now because it’s too late for shadows
To be short like me they are tall like you wish to be
And I was asking how long can they stay so and
When will you say so many flowers know only when
They dry which rhymes with die I mean well they
Sing such eternal tootsies with tiny voices they sing
Rivers back home again and of course the icy rivers
Don’t hear my troubled glug not till spring they don’t
