The Day I Lost my Virginity

my assassin hisses from behind his curtain

there's nobody here

with a stand up comic's grin

so he turned to practical jokes

got the gods tumbling spire over minaret

suffering a vigorously impious scorn

the pit bull lobby eventually had him banned

for making life into a pastoral meadow

but reposeful bliss eluded him

instead an agitated bliss on all his channels

being it was a game of hobbled feet

marrying truth to insanity

and created a race of juggling pundits

ringing like temple gongs

inherently bourgeois anarchist epicureans

wanting what is best is not always pretty

but nothing padded his gaze

observe the scale and the detail

the ruling class toiling all night

gave us minds and wills and forgetfulness

arise from the dead said the angel Mr. Blinky

kiss my sassafras ass said Billy Nitro

Scamper his Mongolian chihuahua

barking and snapping in emphasis

the times of laughter are over

he decanted in all silliness

so fuck it laugh anyway

this is a limited time offer

you've read this you can't unread it

but what choice did I have

chronically coming up empty handed

flapping in the wind and no condom

vast and complex was Blinky's hypothermia

from deep within the Putumayo

a million chimeras cried for blood

the lava flowed round Pele's feet

upscale and chic descended to shopping cart

as the armless Venus glided towards him

fresh from a dump in a highway pay toilet

all love and germs in a clueless crescendo

freed him from omen slavery

Pol Potted the world of its many assholes

Venus pulled him close

her hot breath made his hairs dance

she exhaled softly

you don't have to scream

to keep yourself awake

she could read a phoneme

like the moon in the river

as they pronounced us man and woman

their chief hipster said crazy man crazy

you are a freak like us

act accordingly
