The
Animal Cracker Parade
.
Animal
crackers dancing on the kitchen table
Like
toddlers singing a tune learned in pre-school
The
lions and elephants march through the world
To
praise what great lives we have for every born and
girl.
Ironically
we need to thank animated food
Characters
because we just take what is good for
granted
When
our lives get filled with chanted grumbles and
crumbs.

SHARP
.
Sweet
is thy blade against your back
Bloodless
no fear smiling yet gritting
Perhaps
teeth-no-mustard bones
Making
dust with river stones
Mead
in your whiskey vile
Kneel
on rice is your trial
Guiltless
freedom is your attack.
