Give up the ghost Pour water to try to put out the sun 5:47 am, take off my glasses Rub fingers on my face Woke up aching, half on And off my bed Stretched, screaming Awfully upon the rack " I have pains in my heart which Have taken my appetite " Go bow down to Robert Johnson Godlike Poet extraordinare " I have stones in my passway And my road seems Dark as night " Ended up dying on his knees Howling like a dog A hellhound on his trail Well I guess it finally Caught up with him I hear it's terrifying Footsteps, padding, panting Slavering, enslaving 80 years on and Little has changed " I have pains in my heart which Have taken my appetite " So, go pour buckets of rain On the sun Steal the moon and Stash it in my backpack Then run off drunkenly Laughing Laughing Laughing at death Laughing at life What else can you do? When there are; Guilty lying tombstones Obscene newspapers Dead T.V. The poisoned glass of whiskey The dying mother The weeping boyfriend The creeping boy fiend Drugs and alcohol " Stones In My Passway " Living too slow Dying too fast Stealing the moon ******* on the sun The young girl beaten And ***** in broken glass The poisoned death The poisoned life 5:47 am Stretched upon the rack
I told Graff 1980, one of my favourite poets on this website that I would post a surrealistic poem Well here it is. I wrote it after waking up from a wierd dream, still drunk at 5 47 am.
