Tony Curtis
My Patented Wart-Cure
wart?
wart come
come wart
humped wart
slide or slither
burst or quiver
from your flesh hollow
mute volcano
squat disfigurement
on finger or nose
shall I burn black
your slopes and vein-roots?
shall I come to you
cutting with blunt razor
chopping at your nature
till blood burst from that well?
wart
be coaxed
come wart
rise to cut onion
rubbed against the clock
break to fern
tight finger-bound
crush
under this chant:
wart on the finger
cease to linger
wart on the face
shun the place
wart on the arm
do no harm
wart on the foot
lose all root
wart?
wart?
come wart.
