Nameless

One day the sky was overcast; I slept 'till half past noon. Woke the dogs and laughed with them; we howled about the moon. Ate some mushrooms and went out into the desert with a smile. F**ked a girl named Chastity and laid with her a while. I slept with her, I sullied her I brought her to her knees. And, in her touch, I felt the gentle fingers of the breeze. Met a man named Solomon and walked back into town. Drank a lot and smoked a lot and lingered in our cloud. He asked my name, I said it loud; O, Mephistopheles! He burnt that tavern to the ground and fed me to the thieves. Suffering and sordid now, I stumble to a stream. Clean my wounds and bandage them, and think of wretched deeds.
