They Thought I Was a Thief Too

They thought I was a thief too
Get those handcuffs jiffily
Let us brace him
How I quaked!

In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.

It was my voice and identification
That affected my release
I was simply lucky
One of them knew me.

In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.

Ogden Gnash

“Ogden, gnash your rhyming teeth! ”
the scholar of religion that’s comparative
declared, and gave me laurels, him a wreath,
ending gnostically this narrative.

In response to an e-mail by Charles Vernoff, a Desert Hot Springs-based scholar of comparative religion:

Ogden Nash, gnash your teeth! C

FAKING IT WHEN DELUDED

The lady who deludes
herself when she denudes
herself, fake it
when she is naked?

James Lee's Wife

I.—James Lee's Wife Speaks at the Window

I.
Ah, Love, but a day
And the world has changed!
The sun's away,
And the bird estranged;
The wind has dropped,
And the sky's deranged:
Summer has stopped.

II.
Look in my eyes!
Wilt thou change too?
Should I fear surprise?
Shall I find aught new
In the old and dear,
In the good and true,
With the changing year?

Behind the shadow of the dark

Devour me if that
will makes you easy, gnash
your teeth that perfected your mercy.
Hail, you ever doer,
your soul is still empty.
.....Repent.......

Anger is implanted in us as sort of sting, to make us gnash with our teeth against the devil, to make us vehement against him, not to set us in array against each other.

You Have Become A Bone In My Throat

have the conscience
set me free
for you have become a fish bone
inside my throat
clinging to a tissue that starts to rot
and smell

i sound as harsh as a stone grating
on the banks of the river
raging to be free

i gnash my teeth like pebbles
thrown upon the tiled floors of the house
where no one wants
to live.

Dr. Who Man - 1915 - After Ogden Nash The Termite, Harry Graham Ruthless Rhymes and Hilaire Belloc Matilda

Wild Rex - Tyrannosaurus - strode
cold-blooded ‘long Cretaceous road,
hot-headed kin to human child,
that's why warm-blooded man's so mild.

Each stage repeats the same deceits,
from gnash to Nash weak eats, defeats,
nosh brash, posh cash, cosh, bash, if tempted,
polite policed, write's rights pre-empted.

A Memory of the Players in a Mirror at Midnight

They mouth love's language. Gnash
The thirteen teeth
Your lean jaws grin with. Lash
Your itch and quailing, nude greed of the flesh.
Love's breath in you is stale, worded or sung,
As sour as cat's breath,
Harsh of tongue.

This grey that stares
Lies not, stark skin and bone.
Leave greasy lips their kissing. None
Will choose her what you see to mouth upon.
Dire hunger holds his hour.
Pluck forth your heart, saltblood, a fruit of tears.
Pluck and devour!

Countdown

The deeds of evil men align
Bring about chaos and fear
Destroy what was once divine
The Words of God besmear

Wake up Brethren wake up!
From induced collective sleep
Pour bitter bile out of Satan’s cup
Take part in man’s quantum leap

Some shall gnash their teeth n’ curse
“The Awakened” shall opt ascension
Change comes for better or for worse
All souls constrained to pay attention

Take heed beloved, be of good cheer
Depart we soon this hydrosphere
