It takes a bit
of lime to dip
the hand in
grime and
feel the music,
follow the
flowering of
the muck.
Squeeze that
green and lets
its acid sheen
brill you into
bellowing,
my fellow
didactic
pagers.
We can
walk together
to gather
the language
that sticks,
like those
cheatgrasses
to our shoes
and socks
and souls.
