You think building Hoggle's a hard game? \
You know bunk. Writing a ghazal's a hard game.
Let's meet in a place where words & fabric play--- \
but not [plastic][] words. (Boggle's a hard game.)
A cookout where we can hash our differences \
over steak, though making it sizzle's a hard game.
Let's go to a brothel, [rub shoulders][] with bare \
shoulders, or a bar. Being wastrel's a hard game.
Maybe we could switch professions, you and I, \
you write the poems, I'll puppet Fozzie---a hard game.
When you call me, you never say my name. \
Creativity's [a hose][]---shutting the nozzle's the hard game.
