Bhami

Bhami Slow down take a run Wobbly—?dribble?— dabble addled eye balls gawking at.. what is that? First encounter of the second kind Clanging?—?clinging?—?cloistering—?changin colours in daytime Running lights off on subway hell Foil coil toil boil the beef stock until sober Heat draws itself up?—from the toes?—to the feet?— up up in to— (glands bulge) your inner organs?—liver slowly dying?tangled?—?triangle?— shaped kidneys?—?tingling?—?ringing ears?—?wet hands burning ‘Hot in here, isn’t it’ I say to whoever is near My partner in this crime of non reasoning For a squeeze of lemon?— top of the class?— cherry pop given freely without rates Norman Bates-- scary film!--rhymes with times--dimes--pines--grimes Steinmann Gloria Gaynor born to be alive pal gal mal Quel? Slattery lids opening wide with ferocity Gutteral gluten?— free galloping for horses Productive?—?creative?—?tired up in addled mind Hole drilled into a cavity in the brain?—?chemicals floating around point blank?—?blood constricted to a ball of ice-peaked at Antarctica poles apart Taking the time Like the wind takes sheath from sword?—?points blank Shooting fast?— slowing down Run?— sun?— pun?—?drum for your life?— Because there’s not much of it left after this The End
