I Don’t Know Why This City Sleeps

With a buzz and a bust I must bus home.

 

Windy Wendy went wearily wobbling.

Wobble windy and wear all white.

White Wendy wipes wet water.

Water so wet. Wet water wet.

Wendy weeps and sleeps in a city steep.

 

A way to air the airables again and again.

Again aghast a ghost a goon.

Airily the airy air, is heir to heirs of eerie air.

All together Avery.

Avery a voracious adventurer.

 

Bit busy to bust open the bust.

Bury the bust and bustle of bust.

Bustle of bust buying busty-busted busts.

Buzz, beep, boing, bonkers.

Billy bounces off the banister.

Andertholic Neanderthal. Under all is in-aliable.

Against the adjunct age of angst.

Angst is against all afflictions.

Afflictions that age with addictions.

Annie is aged with addiction.

 

Again again again again.

A gain again against all gains.

All gains are gained away in a way.

A way is a way if a way is a way.

Amber ain’t at all ahead in her head.

 

Busted again. Buster gets the bust.

Buster’s bust is busted.

Broken busted bust of buster?

But Billy clubs barely busted her.

Billy clubbed Buster and busted her.

 

Idolatry is ideally idol.

I don’t idolize idols.

I dulled out idols of eyeballs.

Eyeballs see idols and idle.

Ida has idle wide eyeballs.

 

Mustard is musty.

Musty mustard must be.

Must be musty mustard.

Make me my mustiest mustard.

Manny makes mustier mustard.

 

Busy bastard burying bags of bananas.

Bonkers bastard, but bought a bag of bananas.

Believe it. But bananas are bonkers bastards.

Burying bananas…so bonkers.

Bob – the old bonkers bastard – gone bananas.

 

Hell in a hand basket.

Handheld basket of hell.

Held hands in a hand basket.

Hands held in a basket in hell.

Helen, had handy hands held hard round a basket in hell.

 

I don’t know why this city sleeps.
