if my tears and mine only
are pearls of middle east
buried in sand in the great ruins of babylon
will you drink?
will you drink it not?
if they aren't if
if tears of me ran from stewers from toxid waste for bad taste
of tumor of humor of morden culture
will you drink it?
will you drink it still?
if your tears yours only are none but the above
the ladder than upper
will you drink it?
will you lick it when it slowly silentingly trickle
tickeling down your tragicly dramatic cheek?
do they still ring
your hair strands mingle of hair spray
like beautiful fingers of guitar players folk singers
under the stars by the bonfire
just as the night of eighteen we all used to remember
will you? will you still?
