this is all that matters
this is all that matters
ashtaroth and thoth strummed 1
the blue over with sackcloth 2
the day the child king suffocated 3
and was tossed in a ditch. 4
while children are wonderful 5
they just can’t be culpable 6
and never kings or 7
queens should make. 8
the thinking girls’ moon 9
rises over manihiki 10
while it sets on dover, 11
an arc second proving 12
a rose in a pose will never 13
favorably compare with flowering clover. 14
and this is all that matters, 15
these words, these facts, 16
these islands, these seas. 17
