Ich bin ein
Berliner {
Idaho}
I am a
doughnut, feel my
ring-like shape
That my
blood runs 'round in circles within.
My large
lethargy lures others in
Like
gravitons grasping at
straw men
I planted the fields full of
potatoes
But I couldn't see the fruits of my
labor
Birth canals widen to allow
Jumps in reason to
emotion
My
daughter jumps on
hopscotch all day long
Trying to reach the
BLUE SKY
Painted above me with
cotton balls
A
daylight moon completes the picture
Ansel Adams took a picture here
And I can't get the subjects out of my mind
But they
grew up and eventually bore
Up through the
ground, bearing life.
Awake while sleeping, the demanding voice of ____
"Dan,
wake the fuck up; you won't
sleep 'til I'm satisfied."
