Walking Stick Called Sight

Canned air can make you high.

Caged poems are supposed to express something.

Nations see the evolution of language.

Sight, which blinks

Speaks the words

Which should be hidden.

The hidden see freedom

As something oppressive.

What the free would oppress

To see a free world

They could call home.

Red white and blue

Under god

And other statements

Of Islamic fanaticism.

Communism, new Labour,

Tony Blair

British accents

Los Angeles gutters.

Chirping birds

Like they just lost their balls.

Fishermen

Who need a hobby.

Jelly eggs,

Taking time to understand abortion.

Prevention

Condoms say no to souls

Which may be.

A soul that may be

And that is what I am.

What could be a soul

Would be something the devil would relish.

I somehow feel

Charity corrodes the spine

Which could have said

Poverty for us is okay

If blindness is to be agreed

Something too human

For civilization.
