The Second Revelation

On the day andtime of the passing of man

Pots and kettlesshall reconcile.

Each willwelcome the other’s black,

And visit theother’s house.

From the samegourd

They’ll drinkwine.

From the samebowl

They’ll eatyams,

Feeding eachother gently

In soft stewedmounds.

On the day andtime

Of the passingof man. 

            The Third Revelation

On the day andtime of the passing of man,

Hibiscuses willharden at the sight of onions.

And each onion,

On seeing ahibiscus

Will emerald, blush,

Giggle as one inlove,

Then blue and soften

In the manner offorks.

O! Whatthrilling tales of love shall rhyme

On the day andtime of the passing of man. 

            TheFourth Revelation

On the day andtime of the passing of man,

Sighs will oil their breasts,

Kick off theirsandals,

Shimmy-losetheir skirts,

Then lick thewinds’ eyelids,

Till the windsonly blow west.

Later,

They’ll sit assisters,

And giggle ofwidths,

Girths,

And pleasures ofthe night.

On the day andtime of the passing of man.

            TheFifth Revelation

On the day andtime of the passing of man,

Donkeys shallbray their last.

Some, to theirchildren,

Will whisper “finally.”

Others, to theirfriends,

Will shout “atlast.”

And in the moon’sfirst hour,

Some, on theirhinds,

Will step intotheir yards,

Stretch outtheir backs,

Then hee for the hell of it,

And haw because they can,

On the day andtime of the passing of man.
