Sadaam Hussein finding Wu Wei on a Tuesday Stroking his mood ring, igniting butane to ignite cigarette, bathing in thousand island viniagrette Juxtaposition of picturesque ocean and Sir LickofDeath Juxtaposition of Gates mansion and inca tent Mink muskrat aardvark ostrich telegram World populated with witch hunts and hella scams Fellas, damn, quit injecting them steroids You look like a photoshopped Mr. Scary Void That's like the male equivalent of Ms. Universe Me I'm compulsively combusting evergreen, juniper We could hop a flight to Munich er maybe like Petersburg Or maybe just Wisconsin, pass the cheese curds Knees hurt from running through life's pale rigors You know like poison ivy, leeches, chiggers Victory is mine oh shit it was an imaginary game The prestige was a delusion, don't trust the fame Must've came like 75 times in public restrooms Yeah I really wish I'd said that in jest too It Jes Grew like the Blues in that one novel Mumbo Jumbo Think I'm an undercover dumb bro in a bungalow Eating sno-cones and gumbo till some chau- vinistic Hun throws a lunch scone at my one toe At which point I lunge close punch poke crush gloat Jokes the Hun froze and became a fun ghost Yeah like Casper the friendly I mastered the many by seeing just one thing Some kings are really big buzzkills I said to my Uncle Bill one still evening in punville it would be cool if monarchs were like Plato's philosopher kings but actually they're just human, lost with shortcomings More money, more time to wallow in existential ennui Me I'll just keep eating 50 cent bahn mi in Vietnam see Abstract vs concrete might be a false distinction I blink then stare for hours at reddit.com Me I'm just playing snot pong Tryna waste time and like live no thoughts mom Instead of face mine Enough about my shit, let's talk about Line Painting and divinely mandated fainting

So I was in a sorta zen tortoise den riding a porpoise when a mortar went BOOM right next to my dorsal fin of course we fled down to an orchard in horton land. horton land? yeah, the dude who heard a who's porch n shit we sailed there thanks to a formidable northern wind on a boat made of porcelain despite an onslaught of norse gods and mordant quips feasting on portobellos and porkoset did i say porkoset? oops i meant percoset dorky dip we made it thanks to some help from our orca kin unfortunately . . . i got my corpus wet i said dadgummit, by golly, plot's lame man but i heard no response from the polyglot named dan then my friend molly thought hey let's call up jean-michel basquiat feast on some otterpops and oh why not some haagendaaz that was a really good idea, so we did that, and the day ended up being joyous and delightful

LOSTBOY PART: in mind's eye i see that cabin in quebec snowy forest, first date, the coziest nest talking for hours about nothing and everything laughing from heart as eyes met and souls sang your face so full of fire and information i couldn't stare too long, like sun's rays and i knew right then we'd found a love most true two souls meant to bond on an earth most blue then came Amsterdam, Athens, Albania, Corfu, Brussels, Tirana, Bulgaria through storms and debacles held onto our love and found joy, adventure, ancient ruins and stuff then we made a home in Colorado Springs your wonderful family, Daisy, Murdoc, and Lakshmi YouTube show-and-tell, too many concerts to list open mic nights and mountain hikes that i'll miss can't hardly fathom that it's time to say bye spontaneous moments, tears flow and i cry as this chapter ends, another begins i love you forever, and i'll never forget the purpose of this song is to tell you i love you this song only exists to tell you i love you thank you for this time thank you for this time the woman who reminds me to believe in the divine (when you spoke to me, you were always so kind) and to keep a wildly open mind as time unwinds (non-judgmental and never any crime) unconditional acceptance, a feeling so sublime (intensive conversation and a bottle of wine) train's here now, i guess it's time to leave (if i turn away now, don't have to believe) can't accept this, don't want to let go (in every dark ending grow the seeds of hope)
