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.
