Truly, dear reader
it was a story I had always heard of
in my days of youth(but not too young)
when the sights and thoughts
were of deeds undone.
here, squating upon the throne
I had visitations
walls and ceilings
swelling with life
as I gave my own.
I have seen friends give their souls
to our sun
I dare not look
lest my own soul be as one.
My friend became first woman!
another a frog
sitting on his square
foraging for flies
his eyes round up in his head.
Lord, forgive me and strike me dead
I hoped for the insect's escape
the sight of his swallowing
the loathsome flight
was a sight that filled my heart wi' fright!
balloons of metal
cries in the positive wave
brought to my attention
in a most peculiar way
the age of my existence
and the passing of an age.
all came to naught
as man and woman did fight
cast away
did they
my sight
as me and my friend
took flight
in the end
it was all illusion
caused no doubt
by medicinal contusion
which would
explain
all your confusion
and so
if you look for escape
let a Beatle
or a Door
be your cape
and like SuperMan
the world will look up
and say without doubt
that there was a man(or woman)
for which
they could look up
The End
(don't even ask me to explain)
