Ice Cream Piano Schubert

Under three and a half minutes
it was all they needed
although they hadn’t known what
life was called when one called it something
other than
that, heads rapped upon the walls
and to the floor the plates
it was in a word,
word
tremendous ( it might have been other words
but none so true)
flowers
grew
watch them
grow out of their
behinds, soft rabbits,
you held them, you held
them close, and the hot beating
blood
that shit, behold teeth…
