Swollen Tongue (Free verse) by MacFrantic
The firing squad is drunk again
The vulture's flying squares
We'll pull the rugs down from our roofs
And let it rain into our bathtubs
In each room of the house is a knob
Connected to the floor
There are one-thousand-seven-hundred-sixty-three
Ways to eat an apple with complete sincerity
There are bears with marigold tiaras
And serpentine smoke signals
Coming from the broken chimney
And I'm awake
And I'm awake
And I'll never sleep again
