    AFTER THE RAT RACE
    extermjnators and fat cats
    even the farmer's wife
    keep me on all fours
    running for my life
    but after the race is over
    the prize is worth the test
    a few short hours in your arms
    and time to catch my breath
    oh shit! gotta run
    here they come again

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
