And and Yet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you been the desert gazelle
\nhorns shorn disenchanted
\nand yet fast and therefore
\nyet, gazelle?<\/p>\n

Have you been the ocean oyster
\nbarnacles have lain for months
\nupon and yet shut and therefore
\nyet, oyster?<\/p>\n

Have you been the man expelled
\nfrom the garden blind eagerly
\nsquelching by one by one
\ndutiful the same lies that kept you
\nand yourn together and
\nyet complicit and therefore
\nyet, man?<\/p>\n
