Double Buttercup
John C. Sweet

ransom ransom
              Shake the hand sum
double buttercup wit’ daisy eyes
standing in corners
              Selling twisty treats

string strumm
              buyin sum bought saltie
smack’rs for pucker’d hunger

ZING XANG

              LEMON

                              TWANG

it’s a ssssnake twissssssster----bite

Gotta Gotta Bang
              BONG
resist hand-print mist
finger’d cutesy dimples
              plucking hairs brow raises
that left eye.

Sutra, Iris----Syrus?

rose, posed--plucked you just
allowed to open Mind

sprinkle-seed-flower-sprout

thank you, thank you
for the time
              the time

Sugar mine.
              Mine.

End.
