Prologue to being So SAD

[Darth Eggplant]

Consider This,

We live in a Time

where the Physical

Shadows the Spiritual,

where the State has

replaced the Church,

and Money has become

the Obtainable God.

 

Consider this,

we live in a World where

Fish are not considered cute,

where you can be born into

any home,

and be of any Sex;

and have any kind of Sex you want

while Dolphins think about it.

 

Consider this,

we live in a World never cold;

it is like a Tear,

and Tears are never cold.

Tears are always warm,

there are only cold cheeks

for Tears to run down.

A World where Love is my danger,

and I do not care.

 

Consider now;

I have asked you to do

a great deal of considering

about Three totally different things,

but consider this:

all three are the same.

Consider Life

which is far from a simple thing.

Consider in a World of Modern Technology,

this land of Nuked-out Metropolise's

where the Black Blood has stopped flowing

and the Poets like Dinosaurs

have made the long trek into oblivion.

What would Life be like?

What would the Twenty-First Century

be like through the eyes

of One of the last Poets of America?

It would be 'SO SAD.'

through my Mind's Eye;

it would be:

"SPLINTERS OF SURREALISM AND DRIFTWOOD."

Eggplant: I marvel in your depth, splashing bits of it at those unsuspecting.

 

The work will keep you up!

[Darth Eggplant]

existing as I do

in a world where I am

personally incredibly sarcastic

and yet unable to get the hint

of sarcasism off others

I thank you.

 

I could be standing at a bus stop

wearing a pink bunny suit,

a purple tutu,

lime green scuba flippers,

a honking big yellow

kitchen wall clock

around my neck,

lobster oven mitts

on my hands,

and a cat in the hat

red and white striped hat;

and if you drove by

slowed down and said

"hey buddy! nice hat!"

I would just smile and wave

and say thank you.

 

*gee come to think of it

that is what I was wearing today.

and someone did drive by,

slow down and say;

"hey buddy! nice hat!"

hey mxbx muchacho!

Whazz Up!

that's a mighty fine

Bone Wagon you got there

Amigo.
