Michael Berton
Squealing in the Woodshed at the Far End of the Farm
are the Amish still
getting a bad rap
hip hop bebop
and motown funk
their old ways
is a cat and mouse
cartoon on acid
like free jazz
hallucinates
from the brow
the sweat of
narcotic nipples
found on the lips
of saxophone strongmen
practicing circular breathing
