-------------------------------

practice preacher
undigs your dust
unburns your ash
uneats your rust

a backtalk rascal
two for flinchin'
plain and simple
grave intention

so keep in touch
but out of reach
his undertow
it reeks of bleach

slow motion
in the third degree...
quickly animate
his backwards curse
makes you look worse...
delude and deviate

practice preacher
pauses to pray
each muscle memorized...
knows not just one of Many
but All of the ways
mind over matter means Mine.

a standard issue
mystery...
plagued by scattered fate
stares right through
the brightest white...
then wears the moonlight grey.
