This mind (mindless) stretches in vein –
her teeth scrape my heart sparking fire
A wrestling on paper ought tame –
her much schooled (quite artless) desire
“To twirl on the stage of glass eyes!”
I scream
“To juggle a gaggle of geese –
is stripping a rapturous prize,
it seems
gifts holy as sanctified peace!”
Oh tussle we do (as we’re doing)
Each loser with shout of “I win!”
Oh hear now our audience boo-ing –
as footlights explode on my shin…
