The Air Is Quite Blue
there’s a FLY in my tooth
at closer inspection
a NOOSE for a toothache
you are my sweet tooth
there are plenty of fish IN-land
trying to swim IN-land
but NOTHING o u t - l a n d i s h
ever gets IN
we NET it with filters and meshes and wires
TERRIFY it!
EDUCATE it
Put it back in the stream
so Make Welcome old war-heads
home from the frontline
WIRE'd to their toilets
and to my black book
ALARM CLOCKs for shoulders
DETECTOR DETECTOR
and the choice of a thousand
new choices to choose
and we all get to keep
the state that we're in
asleep in our slumber
the air is quite blue
