I Can't Think Sideways

Stop pointing at me,
you're not getting anywhere.
it's not a very brilliant idea,
that bacon and sour cream do go together,
and they're all wrong.
Napoleon led the Nazi movement.
But still, no one listens to celery
even when it's boiled at eleventy-tree.
So i can't wait for the day when
your place in society is based
on the size of your shoe.
and when a game of chess is decided
by the number of seams
on your left pant leg.
The little boys and girls are fed
with what they find at the library,
you won't be able to put a time limit on a five-minute news brief,
ground turns to dirt and sky turns to air
as the fish in the sea drown.
the echo of a water droplet could be heard
in the mouth of an iguana.
But my toes are most comfortable in the heart of another,
my lips feel better when kissing the rings of Saturn,
and most of all, i feel better when my vote counts,
even in China.
Thinking straight is for squares.
