Ten Thousand and Impressive

Transparent Eliot I prancing wooden alleyways

Reaching for opaque faces which Vincent van Gogh would marvel

Glasses crooked the ladies naked succoring and supplementing

My ankles on again I marvel though dead the 10,000 asses in this Karl Marx coffee shop

Then my God the innocence like her which I once calibrated

With my half gallon of Schlitz Malt Liquor

Saturday night I cry a banshee more alone

And there is Tom the Madman. O 99 I’m 64 they’re

22 my passion in trash cans greater

Than collapsed cans Coca-Cola and they kissed before me as

If this were downtown Paris France

She butt tarantula
