When wishes intensify
So vividly and tremorously
They trot about like wild horses drunk
In the pounding chest, so prone to pleasure
Of public disclosure
The agile exploiter, swiftly come
To feed you of the yearned-for feed
To nestle your thumping, noisy heart
In the soft embrace of assurance
Of a dream fulfilled.
Or does it?
The agile exploiter, swiftly come
Bring the feed the heart yearns to be fed
And, don't forget, that flapping tag
The tag, the tag, the big big tag
The trade-off that nods heavily
On the exploiter's bag-laid side
The other side is all air and glitter
A concoction of lively emotion
The mindful easily attains without any
Transaction.
Come men! Will you buy
What you already have in the body
What you could reproduce yourself in the mind?
Let you be your master
Master those molecules within
String your own beads
Sew your own tatter
Tape your own cut
And feed your own mouth.
