It's the second day and people still haven't given me anything to use:

Animals don't wear Lederhosen

Kill a fish, get a dollar!
Kill a bird, get a pound!
Kill a monkey, get some silver!
Kill a man, get the ground!

Animals don't wear lederhosen.
They leave the world as they enter
They don't care:
For politeness
Nor policy
Nor Passion.
They'll hump once & then let themselves die.

People are insane:
They wear thick clothes in hot weather
They kill other animals because they want to
They do the same to plants
And their lives are mainly leeches.
They care if they see ones in the nude
They don't care how many people they invade!

Animals don't gawk at 'their sisters'
They don't go randomly killing 'their sibs'
Even some wolves don't divorce or remarry
And they care for their young more than us!

Thoughts of a Dead man.

I lay on the floor
A sea of images are in my mind
The great contradictions hurt me
& my tears inundate my face.

"Get up!"
I'm exhosted too,

But when you were in the bathroom,

I continued without you!

Now mother told us

to fold these clothes

and you sleep on the job?!"

So says my sister.

Little does she know that she's not tired at all
While I fold the clothes,
I create a poem in my mind.

"Only tired of waiting
Thinking
Wondering what's going on."

I create a huge speech as I sit

Cross-legged on the floor

Crying into my jeans

And no one knows what I tell myself
While I'm talking to you.

"The songs on that CD
Are always playing in my head!"
("All my inocence is wasted on
The dead and dreamin'")

"Which is true because of you.

(The dead
= ones who has lost his/her 'life'
dreaming
= hoping.)

Did you kill me emotionally
Or did I kill myself?
Doesn't matter
But I lost my life all the same.
Now I'm just a corpse
Floating through space
Doing what has to be done
& whatever it can with what it can do."
by Giovanni Faust

Love Crusader

Now I see:
The black around your eyes
Isn't your eyes tortured.
But mine are red and dry

(t') Think of my quest
I postponed wrong
I could've redrawn love
But gallantness is still in the morgue.

I live in love
So I die in't.
But I slit my throat long ago
So then died love.

What goes on in your world
Exists in a star
& the star melts your body
So you've been engulfed in fire.

I lose the pump forever
While I live underwater
But my heart does little good
When I look at the world.
by Giovanni Faust

Nightmare (continuing 6 stances)

We locate your seat secretly
We give you front row for our play
I speak to you eloquently while facing her
I make you think I've forgotten you.

"My heart throbs to see you once more
Let our past gone

For our future

Is the sky!"

"If the sky, our future be
Then from it

We may fall

Then we crash and die!"

"With angels wings we stay
And out of our hearts

We, parachutes make

to sustain our fall."

"Will thine wings fly me?
If my ambassadoor of heaven

Dost wish it

He sould show me his love."

I watch to see if you listened
My audience then turns her head
"She doesn't know our words!" I whisper
& I suggest to end the play.
