Meaner

What do I mean when I mean
when I'm mean
when I get seen
when the scene beams with beams

did you drink that dream 
enough dream to have drunk that steam
lungs green with pleasant spring seam
reams of reams reaming themselves up and out

pages of miens
means without ends
lists without fists with knuckles without skin without spleens
when I mean I mean I mean I meant to get across

and instead my instep sweats and preens
