Your Megaphone
Your telephone
You talk to me through
Wiretapped by
The president's dog
Chef Boyardi
Peter Fonda
A fairy called Gabriel
Hester Pyrnne
King David
Sham Moo
Rodney Dangerfield
The entirety of NASCAR
Jane Goodall
Tree-beard the Ent
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Every Protozoa on the planet
The telephone you talk to me through
Is not a telephone, it is a network
So where can I turn now
And feel safe or feel natural
Feel free or at ease
Strawberry fields eternal
Your filthy soggy boots
Caked in mud sloshing each
Step I always know when you're there
I hear you step every step
My racing heart spews nausea
Your scent a reviling corpse
Your telephone rings
The Tao flows down the freeway
Toe and fingernails yanked out
Your dreams and mine losing teeth
Your telephone rings
You never loved me
If you're capable of this
You've never loved anyone
I hear you walking down the hall
Breathing chortling phlegmy lungfuls
And stepping hard in your galoshes
Spewing water, soaking the floorboards
Compressing the fabric wringing out
The nasty gutter fluid
Tracking footprints you walk to
Your telephone
I pray alone to the wall
To the God you all promised was there
I pray you leave today and never come back
The Tao flows down the freeway
Or else blot my eyes out with ink
Spilling quills flow black inside
Untouched by the sun
I sputter words calling the creature Christ
I pray for silence, do not call my name
With your sickly sweet breath
You say anything you want them to hear
Into your telephone
God doesn't gossip from what I've discerned
The Tao flows down the freeway
I writhe alone, letting myself cry
Unaware that I'm not free from your
Prying ears the electrocution by telephone
A neighbor always there
And your engine, hot an rumbling
After the sharp ignition
And finally the gravel churns beneath
Your weight
Shooting black toxic gas and more dirty water
Thick like my black blood never touched by the sun
Coughing wheezing nasty like you into your telephone
That's not a telephone you talk through,
It's a network
How could you not know?
There are cables everywhere.
Called telephone cables
And they go to everybody's house
But I don't get a telephone
There is a wall called God
That I must silently pray with
Sounds like strawberry fields eternity
To me the sound of your telephone
Rings wrenching vomiting bile
After the stomach is empty
