Ask About Beauty
I composed the following in a Java applet at Prominence.com on February 7, 1998.
ask about beauty
picture a gorgeous girl
who did she cry to
when she let her only friend go
could you live
beneath man
behind language
is life a nanosecond
or one day
I think it will be true
how they lie sincerely
if their dreams
can not show
why sleep is void
of time and meaning
On My Fridge as of 2001-03-27
you never tell me
my skin is smooth
or my hair is luscious
I only think about me
but I always dream of your beauty
a woman’s bare breast
is a sweet delicate peach
I can eat with raw lust
we must scream together
and sing sadly
I felt an urge
but you are gone
our love will mean what most want
yet we still show
a shadow of a storm
the music from the black & white TV is repulsive
she worships godesses
men like to beat the meat
and drool in their beds
I want to live for an eternity
for death is but an ugly bitter man
and life is a gorgeous friendly girl
watch the boy
he needs to cry
ask him why
it could be bloody
so have a knife
to drive through his head
smear chocolate on her legs and butt
lick her juicy pink parts
smell the sweat
it’s like honey
panting
moaning
heaving
one essential moment
timeless
powerful
he used to swim in a cool blue lake
when the sun was hot as red sausage
pound the puppy with rocks
please do not rust here
ask my drunk mother
she plays fiddle like mad
& shakes frantically in her sleep
love manipulates by producing visions
of rose petals on the spring
and misty moonlight
some recall all of it
then say after
how it’s delerious and not true
elaborate fluff
void of sordidness
spray
rain
waterfall
flood
sea
of milk
