listen hereMy flavor is the stuff of locusts
Hot chili firebrand
Spurting volcano teeth
Bleeding skies,
sulphur mines
The foul breath of Satan's favourite gutter worm
You feel me when I'm close
An ice wind of steel stilettos
Hammered in your spine
Quicksilver nausea
spinning
Spewing forth
and everything's a mess
Every possession you ever had
Wrecked
lying at your feet
Telegrams that tell you God is dead
Piled high on the T.V.
The incessant T.V.
Burbling
Distorted
A cheesecake nun advertising 20 brands of sea cow lemon shit in 60 different languages
A gargoyle handjives for the hard of hearing
Subliminals
Criminals
Phoney businessmen in thick-rimmed glasses
Bad comedians
Laughing bags aping the Hallelujah Chorus
The forgotten version
Out of key
(slightly)
Just enough to annoy you
My flavor's cheap perfume
On rotting Man-Ray
3 weeks dead
maggots
Dead maggots
My flavor's a wound re-opening by surprise
Green fishes eyes flowing out
Wriggling things
Gelatinous
Still alive and screaming
Out of key
(slightly)
Just enough to annoy you
My flavor's a plunging elevator
A millisecond before it hits the cellar
A cellar with mutated rats
Old
very old, lost teeth
Abortions
garbage
So pungent it hums
Out of key
(slightly)
Just enough to annoy you
My flavor's your flavor
Deep within you
Hidden...
Waiting to get out
- tear garden
