"Spilling Out Old Milk"
Plain yogurt condensation of evaporation in refrigeration.
Constellation of stars moving at a snail's pace.
The cookie jars full of ice-cream bars next to the T.V. stars melting on mars.
The human race is burning out as stars or women's cigarette butts do.
Burnt wood smokes.
Fireplaces full of soot.
Put the right sock on the wrong foot.
Singing an old Kentucky song.
Spitting out cherry pits at Finnegan's goat.
Seeking passage on a brand new boat.
As long as it can float in a tub of gin.
All in a pin underneath a zebra's skin.
Welcome to the 12 cities of sin.
Memphis is not included and neither is Thebes.
Egypt fried to roll and rock after it cried and died.
Mired with fired flames.
