Totally tubular fiction yup,

A Sorry SightWoke up this morning feeling fine,
looked in the mirror at this body of mine,
Said to myself, you're such a disgrace,

Unraveling LifeWe set up our bivouac of life
by the world's battlefield,
It befits us then
that we live not in peace
nor die free from strife.

Escape me. Cry baby.
You never promised me
Light by joy. Count your
Petunias as opened full. Pine

The Devil's BouquetI see demons

without feeling claustrophobic.
Boredom makes...
