Full of PromiseI woke up in a chill last weekwith an apparent stomach cramp but laid an egg only 20 minutes later I left it in the fridge so it wouldn't hatch too soon and mentioned nothing at work in the morning I thought I'd have a sandwich at 5 but in my fridge was a cold blue lizard chewing down a moldy piece of cheese I pulled him out to plant him by a window and watered him with fresh lemonade and sang Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound within 3 days he'd flowered and turned a healthy green and told me about his unified field theory within hours I had him on the phone with redwhitenblue rocket scientists and the government showed up to take him away today I saw him on television consulting with the president and he blushed a bit when he saw me watching that's when my skin started itching and I scratched and scratched until I dropped off spores (C) 8/23/96 Tom Brinck ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES / SITEMAP / CONTACT |
