BOY SCOUT FOR A DAY

BOY SCOUT FOR A DAY
12/23/95
ODE TO J.A.

And the flood subdues the consequence
The thunderclap like sour applause
Leaves me waiting
With no raindrop denied
No puddle missed my foot
Finds me wetter than the water
Colder than the weather
And I’ll afford dry rats their leave of my ship
Boy Scout fucks their sodomy
For all knowledge is the same
And forgetting doesn’t make you new
Nor laughter
And what you think makes you less a man
Makes you more a person
