And melancholy
Follows me, uninvited,
Shadows in shadow.
Shadows in shadow
Deepen as the twilight grows;
A taut silence falls.
A taut silence falls
Words escape like the minnow
Fleeing from the hook.
Fleeing from the hook,
Yet lured on by the bright fly
Appended thereon.
Appended thereon
As if chained to the park bench
His perch for the day
His perch for the day
Was a five pounder, and his
Wife cooked it for tea.
Wife cooked it for tea
Dog grabbed it off the table
And dined gleefully
And dined gleefully
on the laughter and the wine;
Ah, the joy of friends.
"Ah, the joy of friends..."
said the grateful cannibal,
"...always lend a hand."
Always lend a hand,
The brownies are told, and they
Become exploited.
Become exploited
Leave ploit behind and forget
That Amnesia *
that amnesia:
self-induced and too public;
why is my arm bruised?
Why is my arm bruised?
Did I have too many drinks
and forget my mind?
And forget my mind.
Just love me for my body
and the rest will come.
And the rest will come
From dark holes in the woodwork
To feast on the dead.
To feast on the dead
Scavengers stalk the bodies
No need to kill them
no need to kill them
vegetarianism
be like Gandhi, man
Be like Gandhi, man,
Or Adolf Hitler, another
Vegetarian.
vegetarian:
a choice anyone can make-
even fascist pigs.
Even: Fascist Pigs
Odd: Capitalistic Dogs
Let the dice decide
