Cursing in Circles

Revised

Curse in circles

square shaped god

judges my cursing

on corners bad ju-ju.

 

Sun people enough

rain people take,

 

leave me cursing,

more, more, more

none remains.

 

 

Original

I curse in circles

Because god is a square shaped thing

And cursing in the four corners is bad ju-ju

Where the sun people meet

And say there is enough for everyone,

 

But the cold gray rainy people

Come and take and say, “more.”

 

And the chocolate kisses

Are wrapped in shiny foil

Which gets in my teeth

And no matter the chocolate

All I taste is metal.

 

The number of sin is 50

And the cold people take the bean and sin

Back and return it with kisses.

 

Leaving me to curse in circles

Like my dog not chasing her tail

But looking for exactly the right spot

On my couch.

 

There is enough for everyone

More, more, more

Until there is none left.
