NO MAN HEARS MY SONG AND LISTENS

the fool had heard a nightingale

and so he tried to salt its tail


and when he did the bird grew quiet

and the fool's heart began to riot


fluttering around his rib cage

in a panic beyond what his fool's mind could gauge


and leaving the fool the nightingale

took song and full flight after brushing its tail
