if you crack this oyster before it's done
from it's mind will issue a moldy tongue
if you ask the baker to sell you bread
when his oven's frozen - you'll wait til death
i will ask my father
to watch the gate
fortify and armor it with iron and hate
if you fill your lungs up with heft and wait
i will not be tempted by breathed-bait
if you put your foot down or draw the line
it will not do anything to change my mind
i will ask my father
for an empty cot
upon it to cauterize
gangrenous thought
ask me to forgive
the murderers
the loophole-finders and law-hurdlers
ask me to love all the crooks and burglars
but ask me not to unlearn these curses
i will ask my father
to stand me up
i will ask my father
to fill my cup
