while living in a society:
run: & ruined by...
the beguile of sociopaths...

as ever: pretty as a picture...
but... it's not a Kandinsky...
while i'm "terrible"...
levitating:

wake up! archetype!
let me personify you! death...
Davy Jones...
spinal tap: resurrected...
pin-head: priest of  hell....
Gul'dan...
Orc harbinger...
the binging on harrowing
that's to come...

settled for the immobilising... first...
the women settled their giggles
with either mantis or
tarantula...

to the mind less: undecided...
i once believed in love...
love is such a waste of time
these days that...
it had to become necessary to write about
it: like any adherent "mistake"
might forget to sing the praises...

Valhalla! or... eternity spent upon
the flying Dutchman...
i don't need
those 72 virgins...
i don't want them i abhor them:
i disown them!

if time is to be perpetuated?!
ad-vent-ure!

72 virgins is a hell...
imagine milking 72 cows...
i'd sooner milk those 72 cows...
i'd sooner take to the leash
and walk those 72 rottweiler puppies
into the thickness of the night...
to somehow have
the heart... to drown them
in the lake at the high stand of the moon
conquering the night sky...
i'd drown them... crying...
citing some Horace...

that my heart would become
an iron maiden instrument...
drowning puppies with ol' baldy
taking a break from the voyeurism most
associated with Warsaw...

i could never have a heart's worth of loving
a woman... enough heart to pet a cat...
or a dog... but never enough to love
a woman... eh... such trifles...
i still love cycling... how's that?!

a list of responses: associated with nouns
attributed to males...
Matthias... yes...
Otto: here!
Lothar! be dead if i wasn't...
Conrad! aye! Helmut:
****** had to ruin the whole lot
with his Swabian: SCHWAB take on...

we're neighbours on this continent...
last time i heard?
the Serbs were making a ******* fetish out
of slaughtering Balkan Muslims while
Yugoslavia disintegrated...
i grew a beard meanwhile...
and forgot to moisturise...
the ergonomics of... ***...
butterfly here: a tornado over "there"
took up too many aliases that...
left me with a saying:
i forgot... i never will...
live in new york...

      it's almost a gimmick sentence:
how we butchered the Hebrews we also
managed to butcher the Muslims...
to hell with being shy about it...
if you're a cannibal... you goat to gotta eat...
well... if the Germanic people sorted out
the Jewish "question"...
the Slavic people of the Balkans...
Serbs... the fascists of our lot...
managed to deal a curious question
concerning... what ever happens to
the remains of the Ottoman empire...
disintegrated?

70cl of whiskey doesn't, doesn't really...
bother me...
sober people are... sober...
best leave them to take up zombie t.v.
(t'eh: fau)...
            i can attest to a brothel now...
my libido will die a certain death...
if i'm dead: and dead i'm sure to be...
i'll need adventure...
beginning with the Faroe Isles / Greenland
for starters...

personally? i'm being bored: so much bored
that i'm turning boorish...
witnessing all the freedoms
others have on offer...
timidity Timothy...
like a doubting Thomas...
fair enough... you have it... OWN IT!
don't flout it!

*** is always the ugly part...
of... any part...
i leave nothing of envy that i might concern myself
with: own-                       owing.
give me the hour of the tide
concerning ol' Thames... i'll be your man...
fake the woman!
give me the tides! give me the seas!
