Fourteen

Heart in mouth
Awkward, rare
Wet behind the ear
Inside out
Outside’s gone
You’re two parts in one
It might be
Strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly.
One is old
One is new
Both of them are you
One’s a bore
The other’s cool
Sometimes you’re
A fool
It might be
Strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly.
When I put them
Beside each other
I see several persons
When you put them
Upon each other
You’ll find yourself
You’ll become one
One, one
One are good
One are bad
This only makes you sad
Outside stinks
Dries and shrinks
What’s underneath is pink
Your mother say short and curt:
Bursting buds do hurt
It might be
Strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly.
