1
This is my job,
2
I don't come around and put out
3
Your red light when you work.
4
What's the matter,
5
Didn't you get enough attention at home?
6
If shit were music,
7
You'd be a brass band.
8
Know what?
9
You should get an agent,
10
Why sit in the dark
11
Handling yourself.
12
For Lavinia
13
Who goes like
14
Gynozoon.

27
Cattle are slaughtered,
28
Entrails examined,
29
Spread out across the moon.
30
The Tisza is rising,
31
Topless bars overflowing,
32
Pulsing through the flumes.
33
Drop-kicked coloraturas
34
Fouling my ears,
35
Bypassing an anorexic sky and-
36
-scar jumping grafters,
37
Chorion-crying.
38
How can you stoop
39
So high?
40
For Papiria

Who plops

The Pantheon.

Norsemen!
51
DO NOT!
52
Eat the big pink mint.
53
Flush hard,
54
It's a long way to Athens.
55
Gone
56
From your wooden palace.
57
The wild mice pelt clothes
58
Slipped from my toes
59
Where termites
60
Scribble the walls.
61
Twisted forth,
62
And gone,
63
'Little father',
64
The 'snip' off your
65
Nine-ninety-nine,
66
From where you groomed
67
Yourself too small.
68
No more
69
Dragging this wormy anus
70
Round on shag piles from
71
Persia to Thrace.
72
I've severed
73
My reeking gonads,
74
Fed them to your
75
Shrunken face.

Janus head
77
It's said,
78
Will give good door.

85
Heard this one?
86
This'll kill ya,
87
About the ropes of hair
88
Care of
89
Venus the Bald
90
Tugging Mercs across the plain.
91
Those measuring road-rashed bellies
92
A perte de vue to me
93
Night and day.
94
The one
95
About the saint
96
Stranded high
97
Upon his pillar.
98
Thirty summers,
99
Thirty winters,
100
His constant visitor,
101
His mother.
102
But he'd stare into the distance,
103
Ignored her calls from down
104
Below...
105
"DID YOU EVER THROW YOUR OWN
106
MOTHER'S FOOD BACK AT HER!"
107
"DID YOU EVER TELL HER,
108
TAKE THIS JUNK AWAY!"
109
"WHAT KIND OF UNNATURAL SON
110
WOULD DO THAT TO HIS OWN
111
MOTHER!"
112
... The tasteless one
113
About the bantam
114
Who couldn't climb a rung.
115
Your Helipolis is scrapheap.
116
Gone,
117
The brown slug
118
Of your tongue.
119
For eunuch Ron
120
Who sleeps at night
121
Across the emperor's
122
Bedroom door.

OVER,
130
It's over,
131
Syrinx screaming all around,
132
BAR! BAR! BAR!
133
BAR! BAR!
134
BAR! BAR! BAR!
135
BAR! BAR! BAR!
136
Aquil-Aetos!
137
Aquil-Aetos!
138
Screaming all around,
139
Filling up my life,
140
Screaming all around.

BAR! BAR! BAR!

BAR! BAR!
143
BAR! BAR! BAR!
144
BAR! BAR!
145
OVER,
146
It's over,
147
Your Nibelung
148
Can't be found.
149
Their shadowless
150
Shadows,
151
Wiping me.
152
Wiping me clean
153
Away.
154
BAR! BAR! BAR!
155
BAR! BAR!
156
BAR! BAR! BAR!
157
BAR! BAR! BAR!
158
Where's;
159
The scent of pine torches,
160
The lumbering caravans,
161
The felt covered wagons, moving like galleons?
162
The 'wedgie', the 'melvy' to threaten the air?
163
Only fledge muffled
164
Long hollow bone-drums
165
A beating.
166
The dark day behind us,
167
The dark day ahead
168
The wind drone across
169
Skull goblets.
170
THEN,
171
Basel-cum-Strasbourg-cum-Frankfurt-cum-Speyer-cum...
172
I hear the only place you're ever invited is outside.
173
If brains were rain, you'd surely be a desert.
174
Look, don't go to a mind reader,
175
Go to a palmist;
176
I know you've got a palm.
177
Does your face hurt?
178
Cuz it's killing me.
179
CUT;
180
To
181
Lost Lumbago City.
182
I am perched
183
Against the sky.
184
A banner shoal of sparrows
185
Sways in the twilight.
186
Down there,
187
As
188
Ish kabibbles
189
Schlepp the shade
190
Forever,
191
Earth's hoary
192
Fontenelle
193
Weeps softly
194
For a
195
Thumb thrust.
196
A chorus of threadbare
197
Black-stockinged legs
198
Is fanning out
199
Into a frazzled black
200
Rose.
201
No
202
Phalanxes fleeing
203
Like zippers of blood,
204
Red plumes nodding
205
Between the horses'
206
Ears.
207
HEY BUDDY!
208
GIVE IT UP!
209
HEY PAL!
210
COME DOWN!
211
JOIN THE LIVING!
212
WANTED!
213
A LISPING, HOBBLING, NOSELESS
214
RUNT.

Phone IX IX IX

217
REMEMBER:
218
'SOMEDAY YOU'LL GO FAR
219
IF YOU CATCH THE RIGHT
220
TRAIN'?
221
HOW ABOUT,
222
'YOU'RE SO FAT,
223
WHEN YOU WEAR A YELLOW RAINCOAT, PEOPLE SCREAM
224
TAXI?'
225
THEN THERE'S,
226
'YOU'RE SO BORING
227
THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN ENTERTAIN DOUBT'.
228
I'll grease
229
This pole
230
Behind me.
231
Grease this pole
232
Behind me.
233
Grease this pole.
234
Grease this pole.
235
There's an unfinished rumour
236
Doing the rounds.
237
It seems the storks are seen
238
Returning to the rooftops.
239
Carrying back their children.
240
Clacking like dried palms.
241
Loud enough to be heard
242
From Reims to Orleans.
243
River banks are cleared.
244
Bridges retaken.
245
Oblivion,
246
Driven from the city
247
Street by street.
248
So why
249
Have screams of laughter,
250
The pissing stench
251
Of mares-milk beer
252
Come to bait
253
Your toad down
254
From his toadstool?
255
And if
256
I'm melancholic.
257
And if
258
I she'd a tear...
259
'Don't forget to blink,
260
Lest your eyeballs dry up, fall out
261
Of their sockets and dangle on your
262
Cheeks like Caesar's shrivelled
263
Coglione'.
264
... it's when I hear
265
A sawed-off coffin rolls
266
Beneath the Tisza
267
HEY BAR!
268
Ah, my noblest music.
269
HEY!
270
BAR! BAR! BAR!
271
HEY BAR! BAR!
272
BAR! BAR!
273
I'll grease
274
This pole
275
Behind me.
276
Grease this
277
Pole behind
278
Me.
279
Grease this
280
Pole...
281
Grease this
282
Po...
283
OVER,
284
It's over,
285
But where's
286
The electrons
287
Squeezing all around?
288
Burning up
289
My life.
290
Squeezing all around.
291
OVER,
292
It's over.
293
Only freezing
294
All around.
295
I greased
296
That pole
297
Behind me.
298
Greased
299
That pole
300
Behind me.
301
Your Nibelung
302
Can't be found.
303
I've looked high and low for you,
304
I guess I didn't look low enough.
305
Don't move:
306
I want to forget you just the way
307
You are.
308
I really hope your face clears up.
309
You know;
310
I think you've got
311
Nothing there.
312
Infrared, infrared.
313
I could
314
Drop
315
Into
316
The
317
Darkness.
318
It's so cold,
319
Infrared.
320
What if
321
I freeze,
322
And
323
Drop
324
Into
325
The
326
Darkness?
