music for my opening: overture to my manure
(you’re out on the highway of life when

unfinished you end butt up):

no, I mean UP piss ASS

the wealthy need the wealthy: no wonder they
have so many parties (to which the wealthy are

invited): the money weighs as a responsibility
heavy with hauteur and guilt: the fortunate

feel they should fall but fear the pit: in
other words they’re like everyone else: except

they’re rich: I suppose you would like to
know something about my inner life: well, it

one side of their goofiness is carnal misery

and on the other the prettiest high slides
glee ever broke out of: that’s the amusement

park just down the riverside from the theater
district: who can ever be sure of anything

and the transcendentalists get up there where
there’s (goodness) nothing to be sure of:

anyway, I love you, you know I love you, and I
want your life inner and outer to be doused

with radiance, even if it is really a
