You are strongly advised to clean the shit
out of your fucking fingernails, bud.
The postman knows much much more than just
your name and address, in fact, he knows your underwear
size, worse yet, he knows your wife's. The burning
wagon wheels in the sky are giving you directions
to Loran Green's house. Listen for those
Goddamn bats flying in the attic. Wrap your clothes
around a stick and burn them to chase those Goddamn
bats off; Remember, if they get in your hair you'll
go crackers and start beating off in the shower where
hair will grow on your hands and some dike will
marry you and make you miserable. Move slowly,
remember sharp corners cut, and it's your Ass;
if you think I can stand your flatulent gas,
your brain's donefor. Place at the edge of your
tombstone one hundred thousand Rats and
bury your mother who has been mouldering in the house
for years. Bury the Horse. Strangle it first. Eat
daffodils in the sunlight and run in circles like a
sufi dancer screaming like a banshee till you die in
the evening. Eat a golden cross and lick the
wisdom off Jesus' festering wounds and keep an
Astec calendar and turn up in Bombay
A poor slob wog running a cash register
in a jewish deli: Time was, you had your
chance, so now drop dead and have sex with
a railroad tie. Jump off a building . . . show
your insides. Everybody hates you, the pigs hate you,
that small fellow you just passed on the street
hates you. . .
He wants to stick dynamite into
your left ventricle. He wants to coat a strip
of magnesium with LSD and burn a bright hole in
your brain. He'll take a holiday on the anniversary
of your demise and poke your eyes into your skull
and use it as a maracas. Your head is festering,
you desire to break too many mirrors and who wants
all your bad luck? What's nine times seven?
Take a left turn on the freeway. Take five.
Forget it.
