Fall In Love With The Great Abstainer

How to break this form- Fall in love with the
Great abstainer, two horns; ride the riverr too tough
To cross, pillow fight angels:
I still want to skip school, receive my degree from the
Greenwood,
Procure the golden bough, become some king before
The next knife fight,
But I am blowing revelries to a dead regiment,
The seashell cavalry trundles around the hips of burying
Children,
Average in the sand out of hotel rooms; mothers tanning
Their souls back in the suns shadows,
High school heirlooms, drunken goddesses who lost their
Bloom,
Rich and muggy- Should have gone to Harvard
Trailer-park; now the pay check is nothing but the next
Rum- car payment: Girls on the boulevard rollerskate,
Ice-cream, lick their rings around tourism’s runny; it doesn’t
Pay for it. The entire park is in need of a graveyard; and
What have I done.

Another name for Ireland, an older name,
Was Erin, or maybe she was their capital, or their king:
I can’t resist misspelling it the missdone deeds of the young;
The more superstitious religious have to kill their king;
And I’ve forgotten how to unbutton exegesis, marble
Fawns run broken into yards; Trojan horses for spare preschool
Children- Spartans spar with the agoraphobia of a broken
Heart, mistrusting the bloodsplatter of gods who were off
To work, preoccupied with another alphabet;
And all around the brightly falsely, the sharping cart is full:
Sky high- Read books all summer, and put them done,
Feeling up the produce, look around:
But you didn’t go to Ivy League: You are with me here
In the dirt: Listen to them crocodile’s weeping,
Are kids are kicking in the soccer field, good boys; but
Where are the waves- waves anyway,
We’re almost done unbuttoning.
