Envelopes of Oatmeal Psychology

burn the light of fire
and wax the ears of injustice.

circumcise the moon
and bid ado to the reckless sun.

count the blessings of misfortunes
and wave verbs in the air--
breathing the hopeful breaths of married sandals

Label the pains of a billion rain drops and fawn the feathers
of a nightingale over the glory of failed
triumphs known as yesterday.

break the hands of a wristwatch and make a b*****d of time--
for through the God in Satan was how Earth was won.
