now im not saying they should not be free
free from grammar and rhyme
that they should not reveal and unpeel
and show you the layers of what once
was formed in suggestive spit
im not saying they should not be barefoot
and be tickled and cut by the world
im saying don't gag them with abbreviations
don't pick their skin with ugly interpretations
don't crack their ribs with associations
im saying
dress them, strip them, paint them, parade them
but don't choke them, sever them,
don't bury them with your muck.
i'm saying i don't know what i'm saying
because i heard this from someone else.
