The Mumbling Thief

The bones inside my hand are turning loose

like horses in their pens unblocked released

rushing mad rampant tidal wave to truth

and laughing like a secret mumbling thief

I grab for the phone to dial a call

a curtain lifting off the veil shroud

to see myself as I can know it all

beyond what's traditionally allowed

I will learn the jazz, the jones, the hot meat

and sweat inside a tiny club with lights

the neon plate of silence that I eat

the just dessert between the horse and hype
