By Torpedo or Crohn's - WHY?, Dntel

Sleeping late, I

Hear the sad horns of labor trucks sigh

My neighbor walks by

High heels click dry

Like half-a-proud

Horse down Brook

I hear somebody’s

Babbling I mistook

For a cavalry

Whispering «victory»

To the sparks in their kindling

But all their green woods

Wet, and unmet as of yet

By the gases of flame

Pressing against the pending

Physics of my passed down last

Name.

Living in the tear between

Two spaces, condemned;

In one of the many places

You’re not, I am

Hiding from my friends

In the bathroom at 'ThriftTown'

To write this tune down

Today after lunch

I got sick and blew chunks

All over my new shoes

In a lot behind 'Whole Foods'

This is a new kind of blues

And what about losing

Limb or loved one in a duel

Dissatisfies you of seems just?

As a kid I did not shit my pants much;

Why start now with this stuff?

And I do not bluff, second caller

Gets bit by a dog or Jeff Dahmer

Kisses or stitches?

No mitt for these pitches

Lone Pone one

Master of the cheap pun

If I’m not raw

I’m just a bit underdone

But I’d be O.K., cool as a rail

If they’d just let us have

Health food in hell

Good heaven’s background radiation

And the black arts of waiting

Not the same since I switched my hair-

Part and started shaving.

Got hexed--

My hidden hair-gone corners

Oh, I’ll never be a joiner

Life long local foreigner, I

Raw-lung, homegrown fake

In coed naked choir;

Second tenor, highest rise

Blessed clever compromister

I’ll be proudly mouthing

'watermelon' every song

I put the phone to my ear

But all I hear’s a dial tone

Will they map my skull

And wrap my bones

When my wig is gone?

Hmmm?

I’ll go unknown

By torpedo or Crohn’s

Only those evil live to see

Their own likeness in stone

My brother said that
