13,238. AND OH, THE POOR COMMINGLED ROUSTABOUT

AND OH, THE POOR 
COMMINGLED ROUSTABOUT
Having heard all this, I declare
we treat everyone like garbage 
now. You, Jethro, can be as
recycled as the first sin, in the
recycle bin, and it still won't
change a material thing. This
world is falling, and failing, 
together  -  one through deep
space, and one in the heart of
every living person:
-
Who thinks they can ride side-saddle,
screw like Ron Jeremy, and talk as
fast as anyone can. The stories that
outrun their endings are never taught
in school.
-
Listen, if you will, to the furious
wind at night, as it rolls over in the
dark and tumbles down these hills :
A rip-roaring facetious county-fair, 
where the men drink beer at their 
festive tents, and the ladies dance
 together without their gents.
-
By hook or by crook : A Minuet,
a barn-dance, or a polka.
