SUGAR DIAMOND

I think Socrates, who paid the highest price for giving things away for free,
impacted wisdoms from the gut rot of the god we put to sleep,
like the streets of New York City near the monuments to failure,
big as an appetite for comfort, hear the comfort's conquered purr.
I hope, a beast of burden pulls a plow of glad regrets.
We best forgive ourselves, as bad as it is, this is not as bad it gets.
And me, I row always for and toward my old man you never met,
whose line was caught in the sunken trees where the big catches collect.
Seems like forever in the awful line to Heaven's bottom step.
The columns there wear rock swan hats. My old man, he says: Not yet, not yet.
No, not yet. He said, find what you love, and love what you find.
And you know what I said?
Want to know what I said?

Sugar diamond! sugar diamond!
Sugar diamond! That's what that is!
I got the cat by his twisted tongue,
I know what a rat is! I know I know.
