do you wonder what
your last words will be?
to para-phrase-oscar-
he said, it was either he

or the wallpaper..well,
we have no wall-paper-
i wish my view,though,
the blue sky and

ii

mediterranean..
and perhaps, why?
(it was my first-)
time is circular
not linear..

or perhaps your
mad blue eyes
what difference..?
because..

my
my old girl looks after appartments
and one day she brung home your
biography

and i am getting toward the end
-an entertaining read-!
when suddenly

i am transported back-
guns and roses on the juke
the bridge over the nene

and you are waiting for me
to speak but shrugging and
giving up and walking away..

i
i remember you
miriam!
sitting in the angel?!
(what your ambition..?!)

i see you from the corner
of my elgood´s eyes..
making me nervous,
waiting for me to speak,

we could still be their
now..
shrugging and giving up..
walking away..

happy
are you happy
define your terms?

never mind-
in my mind
is neither afore

nor later..
i do no eat
and eat

i do not want
and want
i do not point the

finger..
i do not covet yours
with beady black eyes..

i do not cry
at the drop of a hat
i do not laugh

like a giraffe..
i have a bath
my nose is clean..

(as we say)
today is today
and dying can and

can´t..
like a cruise into
the obtuse..

power corrupts, happy
even or evening in
poetry-the urge to go on
and on-like the falling rain
or a moment for two spheres saying
hello-well you can imagine..

happy,says he can and
scoots across the carpet on
his ***-as an affirmative..
written spontaneously in about two minutes or less.to king crimson..and the sheltering sky..

happy!?
when i was a little boy
i found i could play the guitar
automatically

the little girl next to me
was amazed and said she
would be my girlfriend..
but mixed reviews-the

gangsters threw me against
the wall and threatened me
to play and then they threatened
me to stop..

do not tell me time is linear
for i know it is circular
something in a minor
so i played under the stairs..

i
i would trust you
but i would end in a cavern
effed by the devil

there are times one
gets only one chance
so i was careful

to say yes might be
the end..happy..
innocence can be deceptive..

ii

a smile is just a co-
ordination of muscle
and teeth..

moments in every life
look to intent
the reality hussle..
