this is not a game!

i do it justthesame
(show) off (give) in (be) done
a gagameme wi(n)thin a gagameme

the pretty nurse on penny lane
watches poppies run
their histories of shame

(every rule's salvation's drain
yet never max-d, undone:
a soft spot for a Broadway game?)

�������������������������   pop our bubble-strophes, my MAME
�����������������   that second fiddle boy's my son
   his art's his story, what a shame

the dead noose smells of picture frame
blame dames same train on shoo fly run
look you poems: he plays at this is not a game
in feathered boa, his tree's ionic aim
