Words Running For Cover
 
I don't see why words
should always wait table
or go traipsing
off to the moon
to carry the day.
 
Omnivorous time
will bring home
the bacon and grant
the dog another
timely divorce,
 
but only as long as
insanity hangs in the sky
and words that make
sense have gone home
to lay down and die.
