Watching the sun go down,
it’s kooky and weird
inside my head
trombones and trumpets
dick vagina jazz laments
watching the sun go down
a glass half empty
magnifying the ashtray butts
as the television calls to me
and the typewriter sings
watching the sun go down,
a pack of safety matches
on my desk, contents — 50
product of indonesia
jakarta on the news
watching the sun go down,
6 o’clock winter
i can feel the moon rising
over my back, must get ready
to go busking tonite
watching the sun go down,
I know the score
at what price and where
add obscure thought here
to throw the reader off
watching the sun go down,
what you lack in one department
can easily be handled by another
so stop askin questions
and make do — stupid
watching the sun go down,
old empty packet
of tally ho’s
make it a rule and use
watching the sun go down,
my smoking causes lung cancer
for more information
call 132130
watching the sun go down
mistakes, misprints
errors and omissions
welcome to the Met
you have a 2hr concession
use it wisely
watching the sun go down,
hell bank note
lying on the floor
next to the porno mag
masturbated once today
thinkin maybe twice tomorrow
watching the sun go down,
white male middle class poetry
bored so he has to make somethin up
it’s all to easy
to be lazy and forget
watching the sun go down,
i can smell suburbia
all over my clothers
could kill myself
and still never end
watching the sun go down,
over the suburbs and town
and skyscrapers and factories
industry and obscure well dressed accountants
all watching this sun go down
inside my head
it’s kooky and weird watching the sun go down.
