jeremymad sez
examine rough side f tongue
 loud-mouthing revolutions
  lasting as barleycorn brew fealty oath
examine fine sadness
 when exhausted battalions died in van
  yr freebooter economix taint
  carried over into war
examine exhumed etceteras
 don't need religious mirror fr hindsight
 look inside own eyes
  cleansing limbic foreshore
 exercising remedial franchise
brainless conscienceless commensal would rule us
 virtue meanly becomes because
 spoilsport playing second fiddle
  reckons to oust first
 limning z detraction
 articulation z fits n start r petit mal
tadz revally
 sing nonsuch song
sully me none

portrait z not sitter
 diabolic tease n pucker lips aint master
tad climbs out of consanguineous bed
 waking up topsywise turvy
pinches self
finds originall aint reciprocal
 sully me none
sing nonsuch song
 originall aint reciprocal
. . . wake up call!
tadz revalleyation
 we iz uz n we aint uz
we z premissory notes
 thrown at in-f'r-penny infer-pound arena
we z oracular crystal balls
 divided over divinin what iz n what ought to be
we z shrove tuesday tops
 whipped into whizkid dizzyin transports
we z cinctured catherine wheels
 explodin in demonstrative splendour
  over grand almighty firmament
pledge yr carnivalleytory oath
 may alley weal rule y
 yeah may alley-wise-we-all rule y
jerrymemad sniffs phooey
you z growed up topsywise turvey
 accept yr white-liveried n black moodz
  oh my-giddy-aunt fatalism
 accept yr tergiversatin n faint heartz
  lazydaisical-lacks-resolution
yer breakin wind aint inspiration
 nor sweat on brow dew frum heaven
piss alley rules y
piss alley rules y
piss alley rules y
tad z taken shepherdz crook n bosunz starter
  fer granted
 aint that how yr state-f-art animal adapts
 aint that exactly where pragmatrix leads yr
 aint that tackin thru divers crowds f premisses
 aint that yr puretest enigma n variations
 aint that yr cock-n-bullier circumstances

filosofusser will go a-musing:
what fool will bravely naively disinfer
 originall bitterend
where peacez stagnant regime
 warps across warz mayhembez regimen
could be clockwise crack f cockalarum doom
 importunate knock on too-little-too-late door
unimportant as lubricious peccadillo
 that lays to rest nightfall head on pillow
lolloping waves
tossed heads f trees
tip-toeing clouds
 upsy-daisy downsy-daisy
  banality f words
 aint no revolution
what suffices comes back to haunt y
being lonely-onliest iz price paid
eat
 drink
  be merry
   be wise
return c.o.d.
unless product satisfies
tadz soleloquy
no sir no sirrah no sirree
 to be aint not-to-be
even secondhand look
 on timez face
  can see
 more lies in wait
  than hourglass sand run out
life z handheld candle
 meant to burn steadfastly
  till snuffed when infirm
 like fellow-de-se sun
  sheddin brightness on disarray
   to make sense of
    day in day out
  expirin when dayz work done
cry amenity cry alley-buddha-loud-yeah
cry amen fr humanity
utter last by tad
got mentors n tormentors
taken hints n kicks
licked sugared ifs n salty buts
heard calliope round f blasphemies n tut-tuts
goin out where i came in
joy z efficacious
 dated anterior to dis-ease
  which sends contentment
   to its knees
truthz bein antinomial
 doesn't matter
 like odd pairs of socks
  found in wash with fluffed curses
   that beg or borrow hysteria
yeah listen to tad be aware
bottom line by default z diaperin n spankin buttocks
blind alley filosofusserz paradiddle:
serves no humane purpose
this bein led up garden path
 or down
by revolutions
 turns of juggernaut wheel
to which we are hung
 as if buckets to scoop
  and fill with earthz richness
   pockets f plenty-plunderers
mountebanks that exploit
 our weal and woe
  writin finis over our shed bodies
   in name of advantage
oh whose
 no not ours nay
cry out to toiling-wheel-year-by-yearz-turning whoa
cry woe to wheel
poetasterisk bids envoi
cry qui vive
 looksee peoplehole
  knock on portal
   where revealed other eye or i
   self beyond self
 terra incognita
  "here be strange misshapen beasts"
 ill-omened to deter seers n pilgrims
  from discovering wonders greater than allegory
 land with no tongue to praise
take carnal oath
 cross boon-companion heart
 void phlegm
  cleansing fistula where sooth runneth
 question maudlin liver n sepulchrous spleen
  let intimate organs run together compliantly
   like sojourney moon and journeyman sun
we be all seeded properties
 accommodated over noble celestial endowment
  to fare in singular animation
aware and not aware according to lore
 in whose backyard we cant put ultimate shape to
 nor entertain in courtesy resident mage
  if such there be
  except to dream upon
aint that yr daffy-down-dilly finderz-keepers
 gone to flinders upset revelation
bless yr joie de vivre liver
bless yr leapfrog kissin heart
 may that fire up engrams in yr corpus callusom
  till y forget who you are n find out what y iz
alley weal rule y
 alley weal rule y
  alley weal rule y
   oh yeah alley-wise weal rule y
