Porm (A Verbal Donkey Show)

Come one come all

 

*** inside everybody

 

Please do

 

Fill yourselves and spill yourselves

 

Wet your dry spots with your wet spots

 

Don’t sweat the petty things

 

But please pet the sweaty things

 

Dance like a warped record stacked on a broken record

 

So you can gyrate over a Led Zeppelin ****** of

 

OOOHHHHYYYEEAAAH and it makes me wonder

 

Soak my curiosity in your nearly naked

 

Let’s walk away from this mutually *****

 

You cantankerous carnivorous man-eating jellyfish

 

Stumbling to engulf me in your morphine

 

Lying like amazing lovers do

 

“No

 

I won’t leave you in the morning

 

But it doesn’t mean I will ever love you

 

I just want you to feel me

 

You feel me?”

 

And you left at 4 am just after I passed out

 

Leaving me stuck with

 

The wings made of chain-link handcuffs and sheets

 

Going from my wrists to my feet

 

Because you said you always wanted to make love to a butterfly

 

I thought I could be an angel

 

Or at least a stingray

 

So my venom might stay with you longer

 

But you left like I knew you would

 

Took the keys and I had to pretend I was wearing a white kimono

 

And because of the handcuff chain

 

I just started telling people I was the ghost

 

Of ***** lovers past

 

But you go ahead and go on back to your main attraction

 

I don’t mind workin’ side show

 

Standing like a man made *******

 

Pulsing at the thought of you potential

 

Waiting patiently like a secret

 

Verbal donkey show

 

Hollerin on the tail end of dawn

 

With a secret song on a broken record

 

When played backwards

 

“Don’t go”
