prayer
god, if you're out there...
i don't wanna play a rigged game
that's why I'm still broke
If one flew over the Cuckoo's nest,
maybe i can be next.
They poisoned me. That is true.
but what will blaming them get me?
The main thing is survival:
The most sacred urge.
(Sea lion)
I could shake all men's hands
should they be men.
And -- sit around the blazing (love) campfire heat even with thieves like me
Should their regret for not taking more from the
true robbers
eat them alive.
(Sea-lah). Fuck that Jewish cult shit. (I mean Sea Lion-ism)
But what we "stole" we always deserved
all Gods be damned --
It's no shame poison. Just a seeing that I'm in the boat. Happy(?) it ain't sunk. But also more than "willing" to swim for the shore and rip your face off should you hate life and prefer delusion!
You see? Now we're alive.
The lust for calm women.
The love of a sunset.
I'm the pagan my mother warned me about:
Harmless and effervescent.
But I calculate to survive
so don't let me toot my own horn too much
I used to swim universes
But now I'm stuck
Just an excuse
for something that could have mattered.
And yet --
Here I am in meat and bones
Crazy and alone
I love you all so fucking much.
The fragrant osmanthus sings its perfume song
to my nostrils
and I shut the fuck up
But
I will defend my tired little body
and the precious gems I've been gifted
all your Gods be forever damned to hell
I'm already there.
