Your stocking welts & black seams Seem to be the only thing I think about, Why must it be that way? Why can’t I get you out of my mind? & think of other things Besides the lingerie you wear Every night, or almost every night When I look like hell & You are a glamour girl All dolled up like a Barbie doll In black seam stockings & lingerie
You make me believe in goddesses & The enchantments they spin— I’ll stay under your spell willingly Like a drowning man or a burning man Or a floating man, Or whatever kind of man is Adam to your Eve You so like a magician with 1,000 doves up your sleeve, But the dinner gloves come off, Slowly, one then the other, The wait is like forever, The moon getting stuck in the trees & I see you is stereoscopic 3-D Just like everything else these days; Through the knothole In your bathroom wall Can you see me? I am the Invisible Man of your dreams, Culled from the depths of Freudian reveries, I danced with Cthulu at the ball of mysteries, Can you see me, really see me?
Any serious doubt on the merits of surrealism is a fruitful discussion.

I wish I had a tool that I could use To make you step out of your sleepy corridor And open the shuttle door. I’d like to see you **** descending a staircase. I want to see your seven faces. You are one of the most beautiful things alive And the reason for war. I saw you drowning your several faces in the bathtub, Dying the marble the color of flesh, Sipping champagne & smoking a cigarette.
