| The Telephone
|
| Another night of too much cough syrup
|
| I’m awakened by the incessant ringing of a telephone
|
| I still have dreams caked in the corners of my eyes
|
| and my mouth is dry and tastes shitty
|
| Again the ringing
|
| Slowly I bustle out of bed
|
| The remnants of an erection still lingering in my shorts
|
| Like a bothersome guest
|
| Again the ringing
|
| Carefully I abscond to the bathroom
|
| As to not display my manhood to others
|
| There I make the perfunctory morning faces
|
| Which always seem to precede my daily contribution
|
| To the once-blue toilet water
|
| That I always enjoy making green
|
| Again the ringing
|
| I shake twice like most others
|
| and I’m annoyed by the dribble that always seems to remain
|
| Causing a small acreage of wetness on the front of my briefs
|
| I slowly languidly, lazily, crazily,
|
| Stumble into the den
|
| Where my father smokes his guitars
|
| I mean cigars
|
| In his easy chair
|
| I know all about easy chairs
|
| and then I sing a song for my friends
|
| Jesus is my boyfriend
|
| Jesus is my boyfriend
|
| You can’t have him
|
| Because jesus is my boyfriend
|
| Ringing ringing
|
| Dang it goddamn motherfucking son-of-a-bitch is ringing
|
| I walk into the kitchen and I Stare blankly at that shrieking plastic bastard
|
| Since it keeps ringing I know it’s her
|
| and since it keeps ringing she knows it’s me We are the world, we are the children
|
| We are the ones who make a darker day
|
| So let’s start killing
|
| There’s a choice you’re making
|
| We’re sparing our own lives
|
| It’s true we’ll make a darker day
|
| Just you and me |
