PRAYING TO THE EARLY IN THE DAY

Now as a penny levels the basil
Grown in Greece "to repel flies"
I cut you off to listen out of key

This work of shouts and fits
We do to doff our plaisirs
In advance of the hypothetical dreg

In fact is the erg of a poodle
Drawing from a siphon
The index card in a neighbor's futon

Do we agree it's meaning out
In the barter of the gods we pay
Cash to watch. Let's get fat.
