Behind The Piano

 

That was his disloyal durability and
An intense feast of the dummies
Immoral in their insulting
The owner of the disaster, and why'd
You suddenly loom just
Now -- when the subject has
Already swallowed its piano
Smell. The shape of the sadness
Dramatically puffed at the shout of
          a boxer and
Played without mercy a non-
Sound. Come along with him,
          a-courting --

You'll drag a heart through a color-
          sea of bow-heads.
