Chilito Brigante

brewin a batch of chili
with the fundamentals to go
I sparkalize a bowl
and let the current tow

theatre in the forest
dramatizes the inner city
the abcess of people
make the cynicism seem witty
or witless
depending if youre on thier hit list

my greatest hits
have yet to be recorded
yet the image of the facts
appear to be distorted

Ive got alligator boots
and a hat mad of straw
mermaids got crabs
to hand over a claw
or two
or two times four is eight
as I run out of time
to conjure up a date
that states to the effect
that I was home alone
when my car drove itself
into a cellular phone

Id botch the pattern
or whatever you wanna call it
if my belly were as empty
as the ass end of my wallet

see you in the river
I'll see you in the bed
I'll see mercury on the sundial
dancing around like the dead
