Nits of a Louise (continued)
by Lou Crabtree
| 16. Laid out in my coffin that old mosquito lit on my nose You son-of-a-bee You'll get no blood for your blood bank. |
17. Heading for the whore bar waving one finger instead of five past orange traffic cones past dead bodies Find a penny Trollops Dead-Eye Dick, Calamity Jane |
| 18. I don't know whether to valign myself with angels OR to stay in my tree and align myself with higher primates. |
19. I went to the old house on a quiet trip There were scorpions in the bottles. |
| 20. The devil's forked-tongue flicked venom lies and more lies From the stud |
21. No short cut from top-down or from down-up It takes "grunt work"- study, commitment, hard work not always intellectual superiority. |
| 22. Even when it was raining Old Pop put a sack around his shoulders an old hat on his head and cut the briars. |
23. South American coca farmers barely can put beans on the table Tobacco farmers load the guns for suicide. |
| 24. Moral not abides in the junkyard of our minds guided missiles and misguided men scientific power versus spiritual power Sleaze mentality screams |
25. In my other life I chose to be a white polar bear with its power the most perfect art Always so cold, he does not feel the cold so no need to hibernate. Let Geo be a brown bear, Who loves to sleep and hibernate. |
| 26. This veil of death that I look through aided by faith tells me WAIT. |
27. Why Mary, are you doing that? Twisting your finger around your hair? You wouldn't know Maw. It is sexy. |
| 28. The passion of love is a flame that burns and is never extinguished by despair misfortune or infirmity. Where the byproducts- the deep realities that never change are family food clothing. |
29. I am a true Believer But Santa, dearest Santa, Was that you down at the mall? Santa, it's me again Granny says Dearest Santa |
