-11To Theodore If silken swift your time is telling, Talking bares your future seeing, Scritchy, scratchy; running at your feet. Soft, smooth hands you notice quickly, Lonely is a word well meaning, Love, behind the glass door, bittersweet. When flannel, rats, and garbage cans And gentlemanly cowboys ride And barrel-chested doubles, these you see, The woman-man spreads slow her word And white ants speak with human tongue Fingerless musicians play for thee. If mysteries of night entice you, Begging not to be remembered, Then you ride the steed with golden horn. If cats and waxen figurines Are well known objects of late hours, Then you know the Man of the Unicorn. Copyright © 1972 Steven Fromholz ...
