where's anselmo? //
anselmo's drunk off plastic spasms
green with nightmarish visions of catatonic bodies
dancing with themselves in secret dreams
anselmo's drunk off juice that oozes from trash cans
and the garbage man can't sleep at night
and the astronaut is mad like a box of crayons
and the farmer thinks his pig's his wife
and the teachers have maps but no plans
and the schoolchildren scream in fright
and the doctors cut their wrists with popsicle sticks
and the playwrights laugh like lions
and the boxer sighs before he starts to fight
and anselmo's a drunk like everyone else
green with nightmarish visions of catatonic bodies
dancing with themselves in secret dreams
anselmo's drunk off juice that oozes from trash cans
and the garbage man can't sleep at night
and the astronaut is mad like a box of crayons
and the farmer thinks his pig's his wife
and the teachers have maps but no plans
and the schoolchildren scream in fright
and the doctors cut their wrists with popsicle sticks
and the playwrights laugh like lions
and the boxer sighs before he starts to fight
and anselmo's a drunk like everyone else
