Comedy is at once fruit and a vegetable,
like a rotten tomato thrown in the face.
Parody is the answer.
The old horse laughs
like some crazed jester
Come, won't you, come inside
deeper inside my mind
I lie like the politician
drowning in a urine full puddle
Ready to undress you
to feel you
to rape you
Shedding you, like a snake skin
like a fore-skin
Madness began with the cut a razor
thin sliced
and drain bamaged
Heckled once again
by the beasts
inside your head
for fun
My brain's damaged
like some fat cat rolling in his waste
Faceless children, laughing
in rapt dialogue with my disgrace
The child was inbred
Raised collar & cowboy boots
the stranger lusts
as a bike horn toots on by
Bullets escape the shooter's draw
by bright lit candle
Night falls upon us again
& we reach for the sky
By the moon, each beast
listens for the howl
searching to claim us
within our inner burial
The brain listens intently
for a yell
the lantern breaks
& lightens this deep well
Each pistol is unholstered
eye to eye in battle stance
we hear:
We come from a far far land,
somewhere over there
These tales we wonder
brainless to disagree
Most recent thoughts
in slumber yearns
begins a new comedy
About the Creator
