Stranger Than Fiction |
A febrile shocking violent smack |
The children are hoping for a heart attack, |
Tonight the windows are watching, |
The streets all conspire, |
And the lamppost can’t stop crying, |
If I could fly high above the world, |
Would I see a bunch of living dots spell the world stupidity?, |
Or would I see hungry lover homicides, |
Loving brother suicides, |
And olly olly oxenfrees, |
Who pickaside and hide |
The world is scratching at my door, |
My morning papers got the scores, |
The human interest stories, and the obituary |
Cockroach naps and rattling traps, |
How many devils can you fit upon a match head?, |
Caringosity killed the Kerouac cat, |
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction |
In my alley around the corner, |
There’s a wino with feathered shoulders, |
And a spirit giving head for crack and he’ll never want it back, |
There’s a little kid and his family eating crackers like thanksgiving |
And a pack of wild desperados scornful of living |
The worlds is scratching at my door… |
Cradle for a cat, Wolfe looks back, |
How many angels can you fit upon a match? |
