—Revelations I
The next song is based off of a scene from a play that I could never quite get to work… I would spend about twenty minutes on it, get a headache and lie down. I salvaged the words and phrases as they stood out to me, and arranged them to “Dream Scene No. 12” by Positron Re-Uptake Cycle.
Wednesday Morning in the Brothel
the rooms in this home are deteriorating
everything needs to be replaced
and a few stray guests
were disemboweled
in the back rooms
“No I didn’t. Wow, I mean, ‘disemboweled? How?’”
Candi said it came with a lion as its host
but Trixi got mauled last night
and saw a snake telling knock knock jokes
and maybe we could go to
service on sundays is all I’m saying
“We had this conversation once before, did we not?”
Last winter, after I had my braces taken out
you strangled me to death without telling me
what that was all about
“”It’s like rain; after the wetness and the floating bloated worms and the rearrangement of dirt on the street, the components of the storm remain unchanged, to cycle again, to function the same.”
The building’s been crumbling for a while now.
Into dust settles that which was once proud.
The exterminator won’t
be able to make it
head on collision on the way here
for him we should say a short prayer
But with a pestilence of parasites
you have have to take care
to get them right away
“KNOCK KNOCK”
who’s there?
