Not A Peach: Almond Bitters

by trippetta TC   Nov 21, 2009


The donut is bigger than the hole,
All is useful
Take your toll
The rind has nitrogen, water want & logged
I care naught & feel full
Nothing rhymes with orange and so what?
I still like the pulp
Like linen,useful flax
Paper, mush, mill
Enrapture & the placid thirst, drink lust
(dipsomania) Big Gulp
And they say that it's useless
beyond the bridge & over the hill
I will tred on nomadic
Never worm, never simple, never egg alone
It's been a cruel gruel of famine,
enough to make one "SIC"
Live strive atone
