there once was man, who came over from japan
he rode on his scooter, his favorite one named pooter
he liked to ride all day long, while singin his favorite dirty rap song
he watched mtv inside his home, from his couch he mocked alone.

smitten

one day my words will work
they won't fail me as they do now
one day i'll tell you how i feel

sitting to your right
places an inconvenient grapefruit
uncomfortably in my throat

tear my heart to shreds
the aorta and the ventricle
they don't work anymore

what is this you're doing
to my body, my legs are unable
to support my own weight

what is this you're doing
to my mind, it is stuck
on a one way track to you

I sincerely can't get you out
of my head, you are stuck
a record playing over and over

a Beatles record, one that
the monotony does not kill
it merely adds cheer

is this smitten?

lioness

i listen
i watch
i see
nothing but a lioness.

her scratch cuts deep.


we move slower
than our counterparts
for we see
deeper than those

our steps
chosen carefully
as if not to attract
she smells fear

a mane of gold
she rules
this jungle

she lets not a one
in her thoughts

a mystery to us all
she eats in vain glory
i fear her so

her scratch cuts deep.
