A shy he-man met a pee man
They vowed to exchange their semen
They forgot to spelunk
Quarreled on count of *****
And plunked onto pouch of Riemann
Would you enter my world?
If you imagine you could
You can spelunk the caverns
You might map out the woods
Allow my spirit to guide you
I’ll describe what it means
As you peer through my eyes
At the silvered hoped streams
Traverse the valley edge
While you taste the summers rain
A shower of suspended tears
Unsalted by the pain
Fix your eyes on hypnotic wisps
Sailing across the sky en mass
Rest in undisturbed infinity
Upon fields of mossy grass
Breath in the scent of cleanliness
Within this entropy of soul
Float on the notes of strumming bard
Operatic tales he unfolds
Do you possess that steely courage?
To embrace a shattered man
Sharing worlds of one another
Walking journeys from within
