from my poem 'house of crabs'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what some will say You’ve crossed the line. Time out You’re rejected from the game You’re not coming back. So go hit the showers Once cherished, baptized, and sublime Asinine. Never enough iodine. Guilty Now crowned in your sins Stoned concubine. The shamed bovine I built a castle by the sea With towers tall and proud as me The moat was deep, the gate was wide And seashell flags stood side by side But when the tide crept up at last It bowed before my fortress fast Then swept it down with foamy hand My kingdom gone, returned to sand You’re sweaty. You're filthy You crossed the line. Go hit the showers Submerged from the weight of the world Drunk on the blood of the wine End of the game. It's not even halftime The filthy crime. The shamed headline Once cherished, There's no room available The game is over. You’re out. You've crossed the line I built a castle by the sea With towers tall and proud as me The moat was deep, the gate was wide And seashell flags stood side by side But when the tide crept up at last It bowed before my fortress fast Then swept it down with foamy hand My kingdom gone, returned to sand Not worth a dime. Stole from the altar's wine Combine, the fowl and swine wine and dine Frankenstein shrine. You're out. Go resign You’ve crossed the line. You’ve crossed the line This is what some will say I built a castle by the sea With towers tall and proud as me The moat was deep, the gate was wide And seashell flags stood side by side But when the tide crept up at last It bowed before my fortress fast Then swept it down with foamy hand My kingdom gone, returned to sand Yet still I smiled, and made a vow I’ll build another, better now For dreams, like castles by the sea May fall but rise again with me But when the tide crept up at last It bowed before my fortress fast Then swept it down with foamy hand My kingdom gone returned to sand Yet still I smiled, and made a vow I’ll build another, better now For dreams, like castles by the sea They crumbles now, but wait and see I'll build again more faithfully Oooooohhhhooooohh I'll build again more faithfully
