Stealing Free Cheese by Gluefish 2005 So when I was green and golden in effervescent mornings sprawled out like a table cloth laden with chops and cheeses I thought I found out the feasts werent for me so I settled for some used gum Blinded to the warm delicious smells I cursed, I cursed the wrinkles in the cloth and schemed how to steal the cheese that was free There were others there were others the others were statues to navigate around or push over And tripping over a statue or a wrinkle I sprawled, looked up under the table, and said, Aha! The World Really Is Covered With Used Gum And the statues laughed green and golden laughter I tried and tried to laugh green and golden but all that came out had the odious stench of stolen cheese. The caves of retreat and used gum and wrinkles were grey and musty and I cursed I cursed the dark shapes It is hard to find your way, Only the memory of the promises and the hollow distant sound of green and golden laughter and dancing dreams and chops and cheeses lit the way Serene, I stand as a statue: The green and golden effervescent, fevered shapes flit about, try to steal the cheese I give them and trip over the lost ones, the resigned and cynical ones in the caves I close my eyes and grin: they will find their way in the worst of the caves and putting out more cheese for them to steal I laugh and it is green and golden ps the cheese is pretty good too have some
