Norwegian bachelor farmer days I never lived

Woebegone and egg foo young on you
meaning me of course
sidestepping a crucial positive
electric kool aid battery acid test

While the chill of September's dawn crept into my veins,

trying to go out with a bang as usual
a rationalist manifesto covering his face
accompanied by a cotton field work song
his grip went slack under the torrent of images

No intentions of being misleading
Could go by bleeding
Is one way of leaving
As the heart stops beating
And the lungs stop breathing

Also could be caused from exsanguination

Across a pagan nation
Could go by strangulation
Which'll cause and make abrasions
With...

Roguish reincarnated ribbing raconteur...

Ruminating, while rustling, and roping
regular riff raff galore
with deliberate intent tomb ache

Where I Come From


Where I come from;
Hills roll like giants walking
misty, like they are smoking
Baobab tree is up-side-down
its twigs zany like of a clown.

Where I come from;
Fathers become fathers
when it is time to be fathers
Mothers...

I am sure I did
Or have I?
I slowly unwrapped myself from my bed
Groggy and yawning

but don’t be anxious
