Alcoholic's dream,
     to taste her sweet wine I will
          be Caligula....

Ludicrous Caligula
all hail the world's bane
ludicrous caligula
terrible buffoon
riding on an ass, an ass
sliding on banana skins

Make Love Coz It Feels Good
But make history cause you can
King David caligula coventry
Jew or gentle woman or man
Let common come let common go
Let unique occasion rise
To burn forever in the heart of man
And be written in the skies...

ALONE

aged american
agor’phobic adventure —
alienation

BECOMING

bob brawling baby
bear before breaching beehive —
breathless bonhomies

CALIGULA

calculating cow -
cohort’s corruptible cash
creates confusion...

Animal Instinct
(preferably read in a Boston accent)

When pesky problems piss you off
At no one in particular,
Or bleeping blockheads boil your blood
To rage like old Caligula,
Or dawdling drivers make you mull
Mass homicide, vehicular,
Don’t blame yourself; it’s not your fault;
It’s just your darn amygdala....

Roman Empire Revisited
Crimson
and 
Velvet Semen

All a sort of
Ridiculousness now, 
without treasure
Trails, 
Bodies of Evidence
And enough tomfoolery
to induce gluttonous
Indulgence. 

And Caligula
would be proud, yes. 
But not without
the papyrus reeds
swaying, 
Dying. 

The sink is full of
Poison water. 
And I at least
with try and 
Cheat death

With a single
Drink....

Vd
Vovin
Dynasty


A career I had never imagined
One beneath the satellite as it twinkled
But I suppose things stranger have happened
When one ponders king David and the lady
Godiva of coventry. And that man
That brutal tyrant old caligula.
Yes the vovin dynasty now long gone.
And remembered no more save by a few.
Such shall never again come forth to rise.
Neath moon sunrise or cafes starlight....

Cursed
I wonder why it started
Alcoholism, depression, and panic attacks
But It all makes sense once I trace it all back
Far away on an ancient peninsula
We thought we were superior,
Acted like Caligula,
Drunk I would piss on the mounds
Knowing now I’m Cursed, For desecrating their sacred grounds
Touched by darkness
Never to be the same
The rest of my life
Living in fear and shame.
The ghost that stayed with me,
Never again will I be free.
JEV...
