A rolling stone gathers no moss; A rolling rock gathers no...

Dèyè Mòn Gen Mòn (Beyond the Mountains, There are Mountains)

Baby we were born alive.
All the mountain ever wanted
stalls hardly beyond the climb.

Strike it like you know the difference
of plaintains; wherefore art
thou factory farms, where is thy

mechanical grass. Stay off the tracks.
The path has been beaten. Covering
a geyser with a fountain, it rains.

Creating the old again = creole. Creme
of some improbable Haiti, sugar-steeped
in brown-backed maiden-thieves.

The earth opens & it is filled
with nectar. Plasma and magma
ooey gooey, mallow in the fire.
