101st Chorus

We strove to go to movies
And re discover the happiness
       of the baby –
We built up towers of prayer
       in ivory and stone –
Roused denizens from their proper
       rat-warrens –
     “Simplificus the baby,
       what hast thou thought,
       should he be serried
       and should we be clobber
       the agent of the giant
       in the picture?
             or let him guess?
                I say, let’s
                let him guess.

Then he’ll come crying
   & sneaking thru the tent
        looking for the showing
            of proud discontent,
                the circus of mirkus,
                pile it on thick,
                -befriend –
                it’s a show to go to movies
                but a blow the baby be”
