The Rhythm And The Rhyme

The exclamation, the incantation, the rhythm and the rhyme.
Where is the song in these broken words of mine?
Some ancient function calls then stalls, talk too much then don’t talk at all
little by little, you wander and wiggle into something you can pass along

bug trail scratchin’ on the ground
makin’ kinda funny sounds
it’s a dusty manuscript
bust your lip on what is hip


have you ever studied poems in school, distracted by your sexual thoughts
where is the song in quiet longing as the afternoon grows hot
daydreaming on a trestle track with a cup of coffee and your old backback
Little by little the drizzle will sizzle and burn burn burn

the sword it gleams on battle field
the personal is epic in your sketchpad notebook shield
in the attic room where you lay your head
like a star in a cloudy sky
and all the hours sing please don’t be shy
all the hours sing please don’t be shy
