Badger Karma

IF IT FILLS ME WITH A GUT-WRENCHING FEELING THAT IT'S

ALL BEEN A CHARADE

 

THEN SO BE IT.

 

I'VE THROWN MY ARMS AROUND HOT AIR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY

AND CAUSED A STIR WITH MY EVER

 

SPOON-SHAPED MOUTH

DIG - DIGGING ~ DUG-in

 

AND IF IT FILLS YOU WITH SENSELESS JOY 

THEN GO AHEAD AND ARRANGE THAT CROOKED

SMILE ON YOUR FACE

BUT REMEMBER THAT

FOR EVERY 

ACTION

THERE IS

A CORRESPONDING

ACTION.

 

- YOUR SMILE FOR A BAG OF NAILS

ATTACHED TO CLUMSY THUMBS,

PRESSING BLOND DIGITS

 

- KARMA CRACKING TWIGS

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FOREST

WHERE A BADGER SITS

AND TWIDDLES HIS OWN THUMBS..

(THOUGH Badger DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT POETS 

AND HOW THEY CAN RE-MANIFEST 'THUMBS' and paws FOR THOUGHT)
