To drift to perceive the walking fate
to delay for a tremendous feeling of void
behind your back there’s the bottomless abyss
the stream of nothingness that filters into your mind
when you think about the body kaput
when the limbs fall to pieces
and the cells croak whistling
and the fluid of the biological end
crystallizes the vital instants
and all deflates like a too used firestone
and remain only clots of coitus dreams
feelings stimuli obsessions taboo
and you invoke the gods of the things
and you have no reply
and you howl howl howl howl
against the logic of the atoms & sorceries of the chance
& molecular combinations & biological alchemies
& seeds ovules penes vaginas
and the bottomless abyss is a damn serious thing
a sort of further dimension out of the universe
where rusty machineries revolve round their sun
with crystal sounds
and hallucinations of bodies mumbling & psalmodizing
stretch out their pale arms to seize you
and somebody is calling your name
“ Come on, friend. Only five cents for the Charon’s ferry. “
you reply shit and you run at full speed
and that thing – abyss plus voice – shadows you
and there’s no damn’d hole to hide your body & soul
and you deflate on a heap of useless things
and the vital gas goes away gurgling
and you glide glide glide toward the bottom……….
