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.
