cops break in bebop boo -- end of that show.

Now it's back to playing with egg timers

beatin the thit out of lousy rhymers.

White men dancing at my door in the dark

like a mime troupe out of some David Lynch.

Trick or Treat. They come in, composite spark,

Cheap Tarot card flick. My neck in a cinch.

Carted off to the Bastille masquerade Ball;

force fed the Marquis de Sade exhibit;

make love, Marie Antoinette in the hall,

smooth her pathway until she cries ribbit.

I'm a mime at the window of my own life,

defenestrating into my other self,

a merged doppelganger in full frack flight
