Speeding frames, chocolate wrappers Satin tracks, nettled trappers Flying footboard flirting with danger Twenty knot knot knot winks at the stranger Meadows green smoke iron dark Whistling birds at dogs bark Blitzing low Met a crow Then hair, I saw her The sweet thereafter.

THE FOUR DECADES OF THE DECLINE OF THE CONJUGAL DIALOGUE
The war is over Bodies lie dead Vultures hover Soulless, naked The sun is a little too bare to handle For there is shame everywhere And though the moon holds the candle Nights just don’t care Not a soul is in pain For there is pain nowhere How on earth could there be a pain! When there isn't a soul anywhere!! Where are all the souls? The corpses stare at the heavens high above  As they lie in their holes, Their souls look for new bodies destined to love.

LOVE
Step 1 Pick up a stone Aim well at the hen Now the egg lies alone As the bird flies away in pain Step 2 Pick up the egg Put it in your handbag Let the chick-less hen beg Let the childless mother nag Step 3 In the frying pan Heat the oil a little late Sprinkle some salt if you can Crack the egg and fry the omelet Step 4 Serve the delicious omelet With some green chili sauce On a pretty looking glass plate As another mother awaits a child loss.

HOW TO MAKE AN OMELET ?
As I take a stroll every evening There in those woods so green I watch come to me from afar A yellow tram with a red scar The tram comes from a future I conceived in the past A world with a ****** culture I once designed to last Now as I board the tram I journey to my end For my future is a sham My death’s a trend But the tram changed course And travels back in time For my past’s the true source Of each and every crime The tram moves fast And the woods go brown As I reached my past I got down with a frown It took me some time I righted my past I cremated my crime Returned at last As I strolled the after evening Within my mind ever so green I perceived a thought afar Yellow, but without a scar.

THE YELLOW TRAM WITH A RED SCAR
I am sitting on a leather sofa In front of me a low oval wooden table On the table a glass In the glass some whiskey In the whiskey some sleep In the sleep an oblivion In the oblivion some solace That You could have given me By not drinking the whiskey By not getting high By not abusing me By not getting killed By not sending me to jail By not depressing me By not making me a drunk By not making me drink the whiskey In the glass On the low oval wooden table In front of the leather sofa That I just left For good For our home For another leather sofa Where we made love the first time Where we fought the last time Where your eviscerated body lay that day Where asleep now lies another: A helpless little body commemorating our dead love story.

LEATHER SOFA
A ball rolls on the terrace falls through the air hits the sidewalk bounces a few times rolls on the sidewalk stops. The CHILD dies.

P.O.V
Yesterday, he came with lots of butter Some yellow, some white, some grey  Silent as ever, not a word did he utter  His beautiful butters lay ready to prey The sun was hot like a frying pan It melted the butters and the man Came evening, away the melting goes By night, once again the butters froze Today, a huge chunk of butter is it The breakfast smells of milk and cheese A diet very healthy indeed But for that little blood and bone to tease.

METAMORPHOSIS OF THE BUTTER-MAN
Snow is falling... On the treetops On the rooftops On the doorbell Snow is calling...

SNOW
High, high, high Up in the southern sky On cloud nine My penthouse looks divine Low, low, below I see them moving slow Lesser mortals, lowlives: A Dog Civilization thrives They can’t move fast For they aren’t destined to last They bark and they fight Eat, **** and mate day and night In houses and on streets They live with whosoever greets And though they stink They claim they can think Now from my penthouse I see Another penthouse way above me From there on my foot, a bone fell Enchanted, I started wagging my tail.
