whipping myself with grass

smokin’ grass

mowin’ grass

runnin’ naked thru grass

rabbits eatin’ grass

ass rhythmin’ with grass

walt mustin’ grass grass grass

 

mothers says:

    Walt enough singing!

    son don’t muddle yourself with grass

    leave some grass for the wilder-beasts

    don’t muddle yourself with yourself

    not in the bathroom now that mum is old

    mum needs to wee often

mother says!

        AND

other writers say:

    Walt’s used all the ANDs

    and

    left no Ands for us

    never a line without AND

    walt tries And tries for no and

        AND

other writers say!

        AND

readers say:

    song of myself is too long

    i slept before done

    i died before done

    walt please a one-page poem

    walt can’t

readers say!

        AND

walt says:

    grass / ANDs / words

    my page is done

    mother / writers / readers

    i can’t stop singing

    grass and ANDS and words

    walt whips walt with grass

walt’s ass is under bermudagrass grass

        AND
