Contemplate what mind erases,
what would I turn out in phases,
Eating like a fool who grazes
Out on Jack-Ass Green.

The stars may wilt if prayers land on
cool, night airs’ wind, I am torn
between the warmth and cold of night
so Day, decide for me . . .

the fall of rain is in my ear,
the call of pain is gone, but clear . . .
in it's old, stale memory-
Day cannot decide for me...

......"the farmer's prick still hurts you here,
it's stain is thick, refuse, my dear,
don't be like the fool who's clearly
out on Jack-Ass Green"........

......."crazy, how the clouds will part
and make room for such angry hearts
who lick with their old farmer's parts-
they prick to feed their mean"......

so

don't contemplate what mind erases,
only fools turn out those phases,
eat somewhere else-

no more grazing

out on

Jack-Ass Green......
