Dead, Undone, Unmeasured
Naked, dripping, loins all soap and tension, I rise from the bath
And matron's hypodermic finds its target
Unerringly; I slide back into the suds
Woozy and reeling, the darkness envelopes me
In the distance i hear a childs voice singing softly
Some lament for life behind grey walls
Behind grey walls, my rituals of meekness
Offer little in the way of stock dividends
Unfortunately; I put down the magazine
And listen to the fridge, vibrating
In the distance I see a kite dipping breezily
A signal to unbind the thongs of wheat
Nature calls the wheat to wave, and thus we wave together
In our grove and growing tall, wearing short skirts of leather
Waiting for the Autumn sunrise to shock our dreams
With visions none should see save alchemists
In the distance I feel an earthy rumble
A harbinger of dancing years to come
My swollen clubfeet ache aloud with unfetished yearning
My tie becomes a snake, constricting
Alchemic nightmares haunt my corporate daydreaming
Wisely, I realise the darkness is my friend
The sole survivor of endurant entropy
Where nakedness in no defence at all
Behind grey walls, the distance closes in
Behind my eyes, my self tries to express
Instinctive dark visions, known before the joining
Back when true happiness was not a dream
And the true mendacity of angels
Boiled the clouds until perdition
