Emotionally Unavailable (Free verse) by horus8
She was always the one to point
Me, in the right direction,
but pianos fall on all kinds of people
You can't really predict such things
I mean, who in the fuck jogs at 8 in the morning anyway?
You know, I don't know,
I mean yeah, I took flowers to her mom and everything
But ah, I'm emotionally unavailable,
I can't seem to find the time to masturbate these days
let alone, even eat, so fuck jogging, that's her fault.
What you want more?
Maybe a BBQ
Everybody likes fish
well, I mean, plastic fish like bowled fruit
And all the Chiquita banana chicks are there
And they're swinging their hips back and forth
And they're singing the Chiquita banana song
I'm running around, I'm like five
I have a pet grasshopper, and a praying
mantis with dental floss tied to its leg
from my bunk bed
Everything is trunked and hidden away
Like photographs that have been burned
and sort of ashed into piles
Bones, dinosaurs, anthropologists
Orangutans, even orangutans stick their fingers
in their asses I don't know, maybe it's some sort of
'Fuck me, fuck you'
White dwarf, kind of like a star collapsing
Ah, I don't know, I always bit the eraser off my pencil
Just, you know, and right when I would bite it, and swallow it
(I have all kinds of things in my stomach like
hang-nails, gum, and erasers)
Then, you know, I would have to use it,
but it wouldn't be there,
so I would tear holes in the paper
I always tear holes in the paper
[demented laugh]
So the pub was the same
it was always like this
Sort of Dark, and candle lit
I approached my perch like a gargoyle in heat,
and I stood there, steadfast, and listened
to the woman, I think she might have been a transvestite,
but she was still relatively good looking
She was talking about the cow that wore the golden lightning charm
She said in pastures, Texas pastures
it's very common for tornadoes to pick up cows
Or God to throw lightning, and strike the beasts dead,
but one cow, one cow in particular, stood among the rest
higher and prouder (well, he couldn't read like my pet monkey,
but he still stood high and proud).
And he was able to read the other cow's minds
The lightning had changed him
So there was this droning stereo sound of
'moo, ma, moo, moo-moo-moo
ma-moo-moo-moo-moo'
and he stood up eyes bulging from his head
and said 'What the fuck! Can't you say anything but moo,
fucking moo? What about coo, what about chew, what about fucking ensue,
what about slice some fucking chickens up, and forget about this beef
festival?'
It's all madness, it's all madness, but I like Chris & Pitts... They
have good ribs,
but the cow, he wore this necklace with the golden lightning pendant on
it,
and he was the first cow to really step forward,
and analyse the whole sound of moo, moo...
I don't know, everything was dark and moist between her legs
It was a sort of cave, a sort of cave somewhere in Venezuala
next to those big fucking waterfalls
her name was Maria Rosetta
She liked to ride horses naked
I don't know why I was lost in her breasts
I was lost in the way she would make guacamole
It was her hips, well, I outlined my finger, my finger prints,
well my whole hand print in ink, and tattooed it on her side
kind of like an Indian would mark his horse
And I claimed her my Guatemalan maid, and I said
'Listen maria, I'm going to have a real big house one day,
and I think you'd be the perfect woman for my Eureka,
you naked, my vacuum cleaner, bring some friends,
what the fuck, bring all your cousins,
I hear they have great weed down there'.
