When I had grown old enough,
I decided to visit the cloud.
I met Prufrock there,
He was very old, and complaining.
He was single like me,
But very displeased unlike me.
He said, “Man! If I were Hamlet!”
I was a bit puzzled.
Eating my burning omelet,
I asked, “Are you a fan of Shakespeare?”
“No, my creator is.
I'm too lazy to read.”
“Oh! But if you were him,
You'd have been dead, not married.”
“Yeah, that's right, my boy.
I never thought that way!
So, why are you single?”
“I read your creator far too much.”

I saw an angel
flying up high
freedom and purity soars
I caught it
clipped its wings
and asked it to be my friend
But dear angel
cried to heaven,
"now I will bleed for sure"
wild passion caresses
sweet passion burlesques
dear angel exists no more
