~*And Several Butcher’s Bloody Aprons*~
The general tuckermanities are arrant
some dogs who sleep ay night
must dream of bones
and I remember your bones
Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent-
I knows I loves you thoo an’ thoo
In watah time er drouf
But this is, now- you may depend upon it-
here’s a drink
to your bones
that
this dog
still
dreams about
I wush dese people ‘d stop dey talkin’,
Don’t mean no mo’ dan chicken’s squawkin’
Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint
Of the dear names that he concealed wit
I guess I knows which way I’s walkin’,
I knows de norf f’om souf.

I does not love Elizy Brown,
I guess I knows my min.
You allus try to tek me down
Wid evahting you fin.
Ef dese hyeah folks will keep on fillin
Yo haid wid nonsense, an yous willin
I bet some day dey ll be a killin
Somewhaih along de line.
