Prancing along a seaside dock,
I start to spin like the hands
Of a clock, telling time
As fast as it can, never wavering,
Out of rhythm, never skipping
A happy beat.
I stop a moment to collect myself,
As my silly brain keeps on spinning,
And I almost lose my balance.
But I don’t topple, thank goodness.
It’s all a part of a simple day
Among the boats and fishermen.
Measure and scrub, tie and lift.
Simple and sure, tried and true.
I see you standing there.
Such a pair, you and I.
When you start
To smile from your heart,
I glow inside
Like a jack-o-lantern
On Halloween.
I was turning the corner
When I looked in the mirror
And saw your smiling face.
I could have giggled but
I sneezed instead. That’s
How it goes with
The Grateful Dead.
Herring bloated surfers whopping loosely
Bounced red equator catastrophic elbows
Hairs bleeding sap slippery dinosaur yells
Quantifiable ketchup maneuvers screams
Jagged toenails scraping teeth gums spit
Tongues seasonings spicy meatballs tray
Lamps factual super small eyes on pap or
Laughingstock rubs howdy sickle sweeps
Story idle room buyer quality engine deep
Ripped accuse obtuse increasing powder
Blunders couch wide aircraft cutie desert
Statue flat zoom roof goof pop trees hutch
Breeze value carrier goose never launch
Rainbow canyon Jerusalem front queer
Plant blue bluster beer traffic books Mack
Burn jet cookie tempest sword sneaky van
Pod last menial great given awkward unto
Ambulance concrete alabaster quotations
Running torture row upon loudly don’t hi
Lowly quarter caliphate king down rear
Sized veneer yearly Hutchinson walruses
Outfit alarming quasi judicial eating rips
Quiet bottom antitrust future ballroom
Nearly grouped flossing hollow trusting
Cuban lackluster quintessential Alabama
Stumbling along the sidewalk
