The Holy Grail
The Holy abstinence
We are all going to places no one wants to admit...
not the Christians, not the Atheists not the Buddhas or the Jews
...

This is my zombie sex slave...
She never again needs to shave...
Someone sees me after the veil has closed...
But, she is not quite the same and her body feels froze...
...

A woman once told me the most romantic sound she'd ever heard was that of a train in the night, in the far-off distance. She likened it to a powerful yet sexy force, reliable but dangerous, pounding away into the unknown.
I began to wonder... What is the most romatic sound I've ever heard? Could it be the early birds of a new dawn, welcoming the sun, teasing a lover and I after we've spent the night talking and laughing, all the while engulfed whithin each other's arms and our own autobiographies? Or, maybe it is that of an angry honeybee passing over two naive kids as they roll naked and shameless in a field of tall grass, hidden from their parent's watchful eyes? Could it be the ringing of my phone the next day to tell me she is at least interested in another date? Or her voice whispering in my ear, reassuring me that she likes the cut of my jib?
Maybe it's more vulgar than that; the sound of a woman, whom I know little of, moaning with surprise as I touch the areas that her lover has neglected. Or, the clammer of my headboard, as it triumphantly slams into my bedroom wall.
Suppose for a moment, that I appreciate the the sound of my flabby thighs smacking against the derriere of a woman from my dreams, or the woman of my last call.

We'll play in the road with matches...
We'll drink the Drano down...
We'll run with scissors in our hand and...
hide in the fridge where we can't be found.

9pm, the screaming starts
fighting sleep, the world might not wait

10pm, the Magic Boob only stunned you for a spell, a nap in the PM, a Parent's nightmare
...

Nothing bouncing around in here tonight
nothing new to report

it seems that way most days
...

All the girls I want to have sex with are getting older
All the lies I have lied about make this a burden with no shoulder

There is a girl knockin' at my door who says she only sleeps with black guys
...

I'm back in here again... I've been here before you see.
The house seems cold this time, not warm and soft like before. There are no friends to count out and there are no women to spy. Sweet Virginia isn't home and she's not knocking at the door.
All the houses on this block seem empty and even the ghosts no longer linger. Strange for this time of year.
The trees are moving in rythm with a breeze that I can't feel and my hair grows too heavy for my eyes. Something is not right, something seems out of place. Is it me?
...

My mirror is in my way
my mirror, my dear, is in the way

My dear is in my way
...

(So, fly away little dreamer & dream this into dreams)

Playing search and grab with his eyes, he leered over the balcony, tired of fighting for a lost cause. Who did he think he was, trying to stop time like Superman or John Lennon did? He should've known that that nothing like this would fancy them like that, never in a million dreams.
He was dead at seventeen and restless at twenty-something, now his Mom showed no existance beyond her own exit strategy. Her daydream voice was overshadowed by her longing for the fifties-lifestyle of her parents.

Sit in this Circle
Hunch over and lean in close, breathing in everyone else's exhale
Squat down for a spell... or your life
Turn your back on all who'll refuse this space we fill
...

There is a River in your head
it flows until you are dead

It brings little thoughtful fishes
...

In 1 ear & out the other
2 lives possess a power
Their's a tainted melody
& mine the mind that wanders
...

I'm a peeker. Not to be confused with a Peeping Tom or some other kind of deviate.
I'm simply a peeker.
If you approach my abode, I peek. As you pass by, I peek. While you go about your lives, I peek. All your coming's and going's are witnessed by my peeking.
I have witnessed many things with my peeking; things only a peeker could appreciate. I've peeked as men's hats have blown away and women's skirts have blown up, I've peeked as the elderly fell down and as children climbed up. I've peeked men peeking at women's bosoms and women peeking at the men to make sure they are peeking.
...

Tick-Tock...
Baby's spinning like a clock
memories and Superstitions hanging on the wall
the shrieks don’t Scare Me anymore...
...

Don't cry baby,
don’t be sad,
I’m not the monster you think I am.
