(Outfielders of history

Outrageous disasters of history.
Mister don’t throw away your tie.
Welcome blue moons
and yellow moons or parts of moons
and empty pouches.
Empty kangaroos, and empty ears
reflectively reflecting eyes
Outriggers of history.
Mister don’t throw away your hat.
Just give it to the cat, and maybe
welcome blue moons
and pink moons, or sections of the moon
and green cheese of the moon
Empty fringe eyes-of-the-moon
empty salvation lies of the moon
Outfielders of history.
Missus don’t lay down on that bed.
give it to the cat, and that
welcome howling from your insides.
and pink moons and pink daisies
travelling side-by-side to the moon at noon.)
