basisism

baseball is to chewing gum
as champagne is to newspaper

See, the reasons that everyone complains
and associates pain
with taking out the checkbook and signing
a name in ink black as old blood

Is, because the same
folks who just sit back and watch
the dogwood sticks by the river twist
bend in the wind are in a museum gallery
quoting textbook predictions before the auction block
gavel hammers out the real fix that cant be factual
