this just take a few minutes
know you're busy with your slack jaw
buildin your bullshit castle
foundation of mud and straw
teaspoon of venom
washed down with somethin sweet
make sure you get it straight
this is your fait accompli
they verified the dating
on your overlap carbon dating
turned to dump the lodestone
in the deepest drowning ocean
calibrate that one
while you backspin the planet slow
the power of the silence
the lightning makes my feet grow
daddy's little bitch boy
gonna leave you in the lurch
all the bread of nuremberg
couldn't clean what he's besmirched
his ego's well over-stuffed
too big for his brain
make up for his tiny sword
the secret of his shame
for your remembraunce day week
you flew in to visit your clown
called me outside your hotel
said you got pissed and passed out
your new associates
as shiny as can be
every cheat needs an alibi
with eddie on qt
should've known when you changed your perfume
your seductive scent forgotten
you chose something more your style
a fragrance vile and rotten
there're a couple reasons
be dumb enough to take you back
all trumped by
the one why i can't
your daddy keeps an extinguisher
stuffed right up his ass
every time he speaks
it's just retardant gas
genetically he passed that on
to your half-sister twin and twit
you're a self-fulfilled prophecy
completely full of shit
some now speak of honour
sour grapes you mumble
take your selective memory
with your conscience that you fumble
now that wasn't so bad
feels good to clear the air
when it's time to divide the blame
you can have my share
some folks wait for godot
i'm waiting for paul
guitar's waiting to get picked up
you're waiting to fall
i'm here waiting for paul
bassman's waiting for hash
you're waiting for daddy's death
so you can spend his cash
i'm still waiting for paul
drummer's waiting for sticks
you're waiting to use someone
that's how you get your kicks
described you to cryptozoologists
even they doubted you could exist
said it was a pleasure to let you get away
and they got really pissed
dammit where the hell is paul
something's been misunderstood
today we celebrate
you're finally gone for good

stupid people only feel pain
only stupid people feel pain
stupid people feel only pain
that film liked me
come closer so i can push you away
i'm so glad the drugs are back
why'd i ever give them up before
i understand so much now
but my whore knows so much more
everyone's a piece of the tale of my times
my wife my lover my mistress and my whore
i caste you as one in a setting so fine
peaking in your selfish genes
i see you want more
a cook a maid, neil says i need one
don't mention friend
that feeling's come undone
remarks:
Love is a virus of the mind. A person gets sick and infects somebody else. If immunity fails, the virus takes control and the infection becomes reciprocal. Attention: Not mutual, but reciprocal.
Love is a disease symbiotically shared by 2 or more bodies. Of the 3 forms of symbiosis, mutualism assumes that all emotions are equally shared. Partners equally love or hate each other. The other forms are commensalism and parasitism. The latter being when one person misuses the other for their own benefit. Commensalism on the other hand is non-harmful exploitation of your loved one without making them suffer.
One form of love can easily evolve into another. You fall in love and you start as perfect mutuals. Over time a certain degree of commensalism develops – on both sides. Finally you end up as mutual parasites.

'don't write to her write to me'
and you fisted me in the chest
that was playful in the stairwell
where i'd picked you up and you wrapped me round
said i could take you right then
i did
that's why i loved you
you're impractical and thoughtless
in joy
just like zen
'ya do whatever you want, you're free'
and i just keep hunting with you
no i mean what else could be done
we stalk prey pounce
then we're together when when becomes when
that's why i loved you
you make bird noises
you don't know
in joy
just like zen
'you're not goin to work come with me'
and you pulled my arm from the streetcar
after falling still falling
whipped dressing for the artichokes
not hearts
no stem
that's why i loved you
there is nothing
nothing is there
in joy
just like zen
ya, do whatever you want
you're free

venus' flower basket

what time dire
evolved to dour
bittersweet existence
deftly turned sour
our final bourne
to be devoured
to die with you
in a venus basket of flowers
say the song is the god
musicman says it's us
in our flower basket of venus
black holes encroach
the universe contracts upon us
in our flower basket of venus
hair blown in the ashen wind
of the apocalyptic dust
skyscrapers lay waste
rubbles of rust
the polar flip
cannibals hunting us
our refuge
in a flower basket of venus
faithless hope
humanity's power
starving depraved
deprived we cower
hopeless faith
in a never-coming hour
eternal embrace
in a venus basket of flowers

twas our autumn night
nigh on hallows' eve
by sunrise
we would take our leave
it's all just a stage
she my favourite drama queen
too much make up
can't make her final scene
we drew our pact
amongst cigarettes
behind the castle wall
beyond the minarets
called me by my love name
as we neared the door
drank healthy drams
as the highlander band roared
some trees never fruit
they bloom too soon
always have that legendary night
spent together in brigadoon
shielded her through the crowd
poised upon toes
ignored the bubbles
as the fever rose
presented me a puzzle
alas a single piece
held aloft
deify the barefoot priest
an angel michael
of wings bereft
she duly charmed
his heart her theft
with dancing torch
through secret passage led
to a court rendezvous
her idol at the head
they scarred her body
she begged for more
swear i can still hear
that highlander band roar
began to unravel
with the buffoon of no class
persuaded her to swap her clever stallion
for a completely stupid ass
beguiled she be
by the stump-legged witch
convinced her
twas a healthy switch
thus we parted
in our silence shroud
she a rainstorm
me a brooding cloud
may the winds of providence
blow fortune at her helm
may the beauty she adores
dwell in her realm
now pass the venison
and ale by your store
off in the distance
hear the highlander band roar

she dreams for me

dead people call me in the dead of night
just to chat about the weather and their sex lives
surprising how verbose meteorological necrophiliacs can be
i'm a very lazy man i know that's what you think
what with all the lovely things for me to think
packed inbetween all the sleep and all the drink
she thinks she's so common but she's really bourgeois
take a look around the people where you are
how many sleep in a gold inlaid boudoir
coming all in pride of righteous indignation
the legacy of a fascist nation
ignorance and fear feed the justice of impatience
river of caramel, blueberry tree
cruise the canyon of the imaginary
pick your fruit, don't die til you're berried
helicon's last muse, zeus struts in like a cock
pirouettes the gauntlet to run the block
hairless chest and mane, his music's symphonic rock

chocolate cookies
ice cream
mother's milk
and a skateboard
we know where you're hiding
you can come out now
find our love
salmon
blueberries
maple syrup
and ginger
bubbles
daddy's beard
mr cat
and magic
ula
sending signals to the aliens
through seaside clouds
ms economy's warned us
we're a trifle too loud
mafiosa seeks the mayor
while citizens rest
kill the police in repose
i'm a creep at best
from wordsworth
to caulfield's children in the rye
childhood must die
tina shared her secrets
with a voice so soft
between the weeds and pills
the ice cream she never bought
mr wednesday on a trampoline
bounced til he wet hisself
tom old sport did the same
incontinence in perfect health
from hawking
to newton's prism of my eye
childhood must die
two women named dorothy
two more named margaret
how they intrigued me
i've not had one of those yet
sushi chef's on a tricycle
from hel he's gone
while his wife waits wantonly
with a waffle iron
from darwin
to benda's mitochondria
childhood must die
ula
ula
dying is a meme

every night
can't see your face
but you're in my dreams
wanna hold your face
wanna touch the line
make you mine
do you trust me
are you scared
don't be
never heard you speak
never heard your voice
but you're in my dreams
wanna hear you sing
wanna make you scream
make you mine
do you trust me
are you scared
don't be
you're just green bridges over blue water
a reminder of something to swallow
but she she's my path
and it's her i will follow
you're just black speedbumps in a golden mass
a reminder of misery in which to wallow
but she she's my path
and it's her i will follow
she satellites around me
as i reflect upon the absurdity of love
all that i've lost in that venture
and won
you're just emptiness i couldn't fill
a reminder of love that was hollow
but she she's my path
and it's her i must follow

in my recluse
mindin my way
we saw each other
pulled a double take
i need to know
everything you feel
ya sure this's fun
for me it's real
could be your smile
something in your eyes
maybe it's that treasure
stashed tween your thighs
might be your heart
or your twisted mind
like i've been searchin
finally i find
you're no axe murderer
i ain't no axe
take off that dress
lie down here and relax
play you all sloppy
like i do my guitar
everything about you
is perfect so far

remarks cont'd:
The ultimate form of parasitism is when your loved one becomes merely your extended phenotype... Ueber-phenotype, if you like.
You can get rid of the love virus, but it never leaves you the same person you were before. Love binds the infector and the infectee so that they reach a certain state of interpersonal balance. This homeostasis may mean any form of the aforementioned symbioses. Whenever the stability of the system deviates, it immediately starts looking for a new balance. Every point of this dynamic equilibrium is different than the previous one.
It all ends when the system dies. Death isn’t (may or may not be) a form of balance. This death is human entropy.
mr cucumber
i stepped outside my box to wear the perfume of the enemy
i questioned the intrinsic selfishness of my gene destiny
blinking at the watchmaker toiling in the blind
delusion fell in succession
to a watch that kept no time
i'm so glad the drugs're back
why'd i ever give them up before
i understand so much now
but my whore knows so much more
my wife's not a parasite, she's just not not one
my lover is self-devouring algae scum
my mistress replicates with a savage grace
and my whore needs cash for her new face
i know your feelings on abortion
if we could just make it retroactive
in your case i'm sure all parties'd be gleefully active

just the cut i needed

sabotage i cried
someone's got inside
ruthlessly conspired
tactfully i liared
my heart's in the right place
i should know
helped put it there
other parts sort of out of space
i might know
but i don't care
the notice in the writing
written on the wall
called for quiet calm complacency
and you after all
the clutter in the babel
be my proud design
the scourge of the cancer
calls you to be mine
prostitution follows coquetry
you make me feel
like when i feel
when a slut makes me feel like a whore
my bag ripped
my film cut
you're just the cut i needed
sitting on the chair you broke not upon the floor
weep down the receiver
i'm looking left
at what's right
the truth like sobriety
is an abstraction
your eyes are out of sight
she sleeps with vegetables
just the cut i needed
a hunter's hand curves generous
a take in every give
quarter-moon eyes squint laughing
cheeks shine ripe and rise
handless serve your flying hair
and marble deed
you
just the cut i need
believe i've finished all the grass
sky's typically blue
clouds in reeling pirouette
an extra one for you
you're just the cut i needed
quick deep and sure
unrequited love
is an oxymoron
