I was sitting on the city bus heading towards the grocery.
Hungry and writing nonsensical verse:
idea-power-transmit-beauty-attraction-
magic-incantation-prayer.
Two women board.
One is dressed as a broad side of a barn,
sporting ever so fashionable hair curlers.
The other has dyed jet black hair
that she is spastic-ally flipping about,
while talking about her birthday party drinking binge,
on the 26th of the month.
‘Odd,’ I thought, ‘that’s the same day as…’
I realize in absolute HORROR,
that THERE ARE MY EX-GIRLFRIEND DOPPELGANGERS
RUNNING ABOUT EVERYWHERE!
Went shopping, and it seemed to me
these THINGS were AT MY EVERY TURN AND CORNER.
Proceeded home.
While waiting at the stop,
munching on popcorn like I was in a weird movie
and watching a weird movie simultaneously.
Rush hour traffic whizzes by,
(crunch crunch crunch)
Another epiphany occurs
that should be a refrain for a song,
‘the CARS are RUNNING on HUMAN BLOOD
the CARS are RUNNING on HUMAN BLOOD
the CARS are RUNNING on HUMAN BLOOD’
Instead of gasoline, fossil fuels, oil….
Would Americans love their vehicles as much
if they were literally pumping blood into those tanks?
The analogy is just as well.
I buy the good stuff:
TYPE O NEGATIVE.
The television was right-
the WORLD IS AN ABSOLUTE TERROR-
and I am NEVER LEAVING HOME AGAIN!
