&quot;Long enough have you dreamed contemptible dreams,<br /> Now I wash the gum from your eyes,<br /> You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life.&quot;-Walt Whitman

i saw
your
name in
my storybook & thought gee
what a nice
name
all cream &
peach &
uncoiling copper consonants
my brother he said you're supposed
to say it "ker-nel"
o well i like Col-o-nel &
is it true you
have big brass buttons stuck
like twinkles
in dark blue eyes &
Mr. Col-o-nel have you got
shinysweet like a sprig of lick-o-rish
a musket?
