subways

In this underworld,

my mood gets lost

in bullshit.

All streets and avenues

fell off the map I carried

since childhood.

The subways to my aorta

have different routes

under destruction.

I study new schedules,

but not one fits my mood.

Your perpetual eclipse

caterwauls on rails

& ingurgitated promises

travel via express.

The (E)sophagus takes them

to the rear end tunnel.

Your trust prefers the 3rd rail

& I switch for the (E) line

at 23rd & Ely.

Rubber Duckies

   

                        

                         rubber duckies, rubber duckies,

                         go down waterfalls, go down waterfalls,

                         over stoned walls, over stoned walls

                         into foam, into foam.

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim.

                         beer, beer

                         drips down waterfalls, drips down waterfalls

                         over stoned walls, over stoned walls

                         into foam, into foam.

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         happy, happy in beer,

                         happy, happy in beer.

                         lime slices, lime slices,

                         slide down waterfalls, slide down waterfalls,

                         over stoned walls, over stoned walls

                         into foam, into foam.

                         lime slices, float in beer, float in beer, float in beer,

                         lime slices, float in beer, float in beer, float in beer,

                         happy, happy, blub, blub,

                         happy, happy, blub, blub,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         happy, happy in beer,

                         happy, happy in beer.

                         lifeguards, lifeguards

                         dive down waterfalls, dive down waterfalls,

                         over stoned walls, over stoned walls

                         into foam, into foam.

                         lifeguards slurp it up, slurp it up, slurp it up,

                         lifeguards slurp it up, slurp it up, slurp it up,

                         drown happy in beer, drown happy in beer,

                         drown happy in beer, drown happy in beer,           

                         lime slices float in beer, float in beer, float in beer,

                         lime slices, float in beer, float in beer, float in beer,

                         happy, happy, blub, blub,

                         happy, happy, blub, blub,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         rubber duckies swim, swim, swim,

                         happy, happy in beer,

                         happy, happy in beer.
