A HANDFUL OF CRAYONS

How many bottles
does a man need
to keep his heart pumping
His kidneys screening

OH, how many pills
does one require
to keep his liver going
His pressure down

A drugstore of bottles I have
lined up perfectly,
tan that they are
they hold the rainbow

The rainbow as a child
my first drawing made
my crayons rubbing against
coarse paper

Red and beige and brown
yellow and green and blue
the colors of a box of crayons
resting in my palm

I raise them up
and I swallow themSource URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2009/05/handful-of-crayons.html
