I’m not feeling too clever today someone shrank my knackers and obscured my true identity I’m out of bed or so I think It’s still dark outside but it’s darker in there’s a hole in my bucket I’m leaking spiritual energy but I’m rid of her and she’s rid of me summer died, she blamed it on me I don’t hold that against her we both know I have it in me you see, it was easy to smile as I lied easier than the taste of fear and shame but it feeds the worm inside and he’s a hungry maggot the guardian of my psyche the one who’s in control here I am fucking, eating, grunting I’m just rotting meat in a garbage can maggots rule my world my maggots have a master plan it’s called metamorphosis on the other side of heaven they’ll have sprouted wings and they’ll be planting eggs in the fertile ground of my decomposing mind

snitch
…and where am I now? I’m in the glasshouse again and where are you? you’re home and dry open the window and breathe in that gloom it’s that kind of night in that kind of room don’t touch me now you’ll catch something cruel I love you some I hate you too but you didn’t bring me down I did that to myself you drink like a thief one eye on the door I should have seen you coming I’d have spit in your eye coz nobody loves a snitch or trusts a fucking liar…

hip priest
he smiled and smiled as if he were willing to play the villain if necessary and that’s the way of it in my neighbourhood he was slightly fleabag you know the type vaguely disaffected stinking of skunk and sweat he spoke low and slow didn’t give away too much he played a private game no one knew it’s name all human suffering resided in his eyes but he didn’t seem to care he was nearly clued in almost wise his were written memoirs pen and paper torn from life he was veteran of some ancient revolution but he wasn’t a victim he was a survivor he’d seen thousands like me eager to impress with my vacuous knowledge but he was a book closed to me “…nothing matters anymore, the war was lost long ago… …I stopped resisting the flow and learned to let go… …it’s not the best of all possible worlds, but it’s the only one we know…” he was an individualist and if he ever got lonely he didn’t let on he’d been weathered smooth by millennia of dust and rain I was an acolyte - he’d send me to the shops but nothing he said was news to me nothing he said seemed real

looney tunes
ever since the funny farm my self doubt is crippling it’s an existential funk bipolar flavour I’m just a mirror to a world rotten with mediocrity I’m a television head I’ve abolished the dark of night and bleached my brain with photons my thoughts are merely the regurgitation of twenty four hour programming I’ve lost all sense of the real I’m a cartoon man moulded in a cartoon world I manage my appearance and the illusion of individuality but there’s no such thing as real there are only layers of fiction and that’s all folks that’s all she wrote
