i collected all my old lists
got enough for a book
if you don't believe me then
take a long hard look
a book is just a lot of lists
all wordy and stuck together
just like the forecast in the papers
it's just a list of the weather
bakery menu;
a list of the bread
funeral notices;
a list of the dead
which doctor is in?
a list of quacks
hustler magazine
a list of cracks
a poem is like a list
like a book but shorter
a limerick is a poem
a real live five line snorter
a recipe is a list
...of ingredients
an honours list
alphabetised expedience
schindler was alleged to have had one
same can be said of moses too
be assured that your government has many
watching us; watching them; watching you
a list is a list if you get my gist
and it's best to desist
a list is a list and if you really must insist
i will simply resist and tilt my list
adjust my lean
i'd go for fourteen point eighty eight
degrees
to the right...
it's the angle
of the dangle
