Parched be sour pallets
That condemn the thirst
And--paralyzed, the hands
That squelch
To quell--
How different from to choke?
And to hush, as to
Behead
Pointing finger guiding heart
May just as well wring dry
To extract juices from the brain,
To such veins free of milk
And of the pen-- or dripping brush
He who snaps sha'n't plead!
Journal vacant--
Journal soiled, with
misoloquy-- and swears
That condemn the thirst
And--paralyzed, the hands
That squelch
To quell--
How different from to choke?
And to hush, as to
Behead
Pointing finger guiding heart
May just as well wring dry
To extract juices from the brain,
To such veins free of milk
And of the pen-- or dripping brush
He who snaps sha'n't plead!
Journal vacant--
Journal soiled, with
misoloquy-- and swears
