'The Lonely Wizard'
(Image by A 'Cecil' I)
  Details   DMCA

I can't recall the last time I felt love inside,

its deep euphoria sweeping through my gizzard,

waking me shibbering timbers, my horny lizard

doing tumblesaults, happy journey all Pilgrims Pride.

I can't believe the broken sky I hide

in the chaos of frozen wind drops, the blizzard

of noxious farts put out by some dying wizard*

who pushed my very reason for being aside.

.

What I'm saying is I miss those halcyon days

of love remembered / forgot with each ocean spasm

(KonTikiEasterIslandprimordialgasm),

self-indulgent shower songs, me as Isaac Hayes.

.

I'm old now and grizzled as the unshaven moon,

and feel I should be boiling something in a spoon

.

* Wizard appears to refer to God here. -Eds.
