LOVE EVERYTHING

Many men have tried her.
Many men have failed.
Now I have! I have!
I have! I have!

In chairs older than I am,
in narrow strokes of luck,
I flatter the old masters.
I do! I do!
I do! I do!

Take me to their leader.
Take me to their chief.
Trying on his headdress.
Guess who! Guess who!
Guess who! Guess who!

Sucks the cocks of money.
Sucking cock for speed.
Ask me, I feel nothing.
I do! I do!
I do! I do!

Someone knows the answer;
one too shy to say.
Oh, I know! I know!
I know! I know!

Mouths and their commandments,
the comet's cold debris,
a tongue of swirling gavils
in vertigos of speech.
A widow's rain may dry up,
but I won't! I won't!
I won't! I won't!

Not swimming in a fountain.
Not cobbling a wish.
A moth in boiling chocolate.
I am! I am!
I am! I am!

Far from Mississippi,
winters pick their teeth,
with dead and dying treetops,
with men and man's machines.
All the kingpin's gophers,
and all the gophers men
put it all together.
I can! I can!
I can! I can!

Many men have tried her.
Many men who failed.
Many men have tried her.
Now I have! I have!
I have! I have!

Many men have tried her.
Many men have failed.
Now I have! I have!
I have! I have!

I have! I have!
I have! I have!

I have! I have!
I have! I have!

You don't know anything,
if you don't love everything.
