Fable

A poem from my “Nothing but Nonsense” period (September, 1997 – March 1998)

Jesus was a-sitting on his rock
when the serpent asked the time.
He answered, "go ask L."
So, she came a-walking,
a-moving
throwing all equilibrium
for a loop.
I was sitting on a dock
pretending to be pretty
when I saw her guns
riding grab-a-T.
"Excuse me, if you will,"
the serpent said to me.
"Have you ever heard of time?"
I wasn't sure what to respond.
Sure I could,
sure I would,
But after that, where am I to be?
So, I made a date
to see her tonight,
but I know she'll never show up
cus she doesn't have a watch.
