Im lying in my bed, With these clowns laughing in my head. I hear their footsteps on the floor, Their eyes peek round the door... In the shadows they do hide, The shadows in my mind. Red lips,white face, garish clothes, Just waiting for my eyes to close... ....waiting for my eyes to close.... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA

Zest is a soap that leaves very little film, like this poem.

He's only got a blank look cause he reads so much fucking Lao-Tzu. It's his own damn fault.

Do you ever lie awake at night and wonder aloud to god why he gave me such great talent and you so little? Do you ever wonder about that just before you go to sleep, when you can feel yourself start to drift and are still conscious enough to make the choice of whether to give in to the drift or fight? Like a preview of dying. Is that what you mean here. Is it raining in Liverpool today?

You are just jelous of my incredible ideas and skill in the field of poetry, you wonder how, although my name has nothing to do with poetry, that i can produce such quality work, far superior to yours. I dont know if it is raining in liverpool- i live in HAMPSHIRE.

Dude, everyone is a fucking Simpsons fan. It's like the most popular show on TV or something. I am a fan of the Simpsons, and I don't see how that could help me see "where you're coming from on this". Copying a line and making it your title doesn't somehow make it a Simpsons-related poeme.

simpsons fan...ha...no.

i am a simpsons FOLLOWER...it is my firm belief that anything that happens in your life can be traced back to a simpsons episode. my second belief, otherwise called my 'non-firm' belief, is that within the first 10 years of the show being cancelled someone will successfully equip the simpsons into its own official archetypal phenomenon...we shall see.
