A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
Thick-skinned and extremely tough.
Thick-skinned and extremely tough,
your body towers over everyone.
Your body towers over everyone.
Your body is thick-skinned, extremely
tough, and towers over everyone.
But your mouth and ears are too thin.
But your mouth and ears are too thin.
They let every word and sound in.
They let every word and sound in.
Your ears let every sound in.
Mouths, they are thin. Words are too.
The world is too small
The world is too small.
Men are brutes. They wound you.
Men are brutes. They wound you.
The world is a brute.
Small men are wounded too.
Your mouth is too small.
Your ears too thin-skinned.
Your body lets every sound in.
The world is extremely tough.
Men are thick brutes, and
words tower over everyone.
