another poem from the book "play infinity" published in the usa

lost innocence. pressurized rose petals smash in
center
place. once in a rose garden. once in boston. chilly
lion
cut subtle neck. lamb's marbles rolled down one
way street.
little berkely boys shoot eyes into guitars and
saxaphones
they play jazz. lamb played naive. lamb lost. lamb
became
lion. lion locks with black and white marblized
eyes. lion
wins.lions always do. and lambs successfully get
slaughtered
entering rose gardens. there's no rose gardens in
nyc. only
glass coffers holding freshly frozen rose petals.
