Idiot Wind of Change

froth
froth
froth froth






I saw you crawling on the edge of town
brain sprayed all over the place
I’d just swallowed my mother tongue
could only speak in
do
do
tongue               [ doo wop! ]
I joined you underneath the old stone bridge
through the mud
up the creek

in your face
freedom
in your face
old skull
in your face
freedom
in your face
freedom on the edge of town

I saw you creep up by the shopping mall
down at the car wash
rainbow vomiting streams of rainbow
on the edge of town
I joined you by the old lumber mill
what the brain told the fist
the eye has yet to understand
