JOSEPH BYRD

all whores

all poop-deck ships

all homesick shores

all heartsore trips

all floating bathtub kiddie surprises

all seeings of those who don’t know their way

all wonderdunces

all muckers

all pretenders and fig-pusses and all who think before they say

all wide and wonderful glory-come hippie trunks

all magical mushroom-eating wackomancers

all secrets and

all the junk that comes from holy change and chance

all sick

all lovely

all wicked sexy sin-delicious dance and

all, all, all of it is

all behovely

all neverminds

all underdone

all steak tartare

all wondrous fun

all elephantine

all sickening wishings and

all that all of our dumbnesses are

all wagging tails

all the quick and all the dead

all our comforting crapstuffs and

all the bites from the one loaf that is everyone everywhere’s bread
