Much to my surprise and delight,
You were straddling me,
You inched toward my face,
And I pulled you up to meet me,
I felt the slick rosebud break my lips,
My daemon nipped my hand and I lookèd up,
Oh, your head was gone,
I said, your head was gone,
I found a vent in the wall,
That I could squeeze through,
So I hoisted myself up,
Into a small room,
I thought the drugs were heavy,
But they seemed benign,
And somewhwere else,
Maybe outside a school,
I ran into an old friend,
And in her red gingham dress,
She made me feel like dirt,
Shr made me feel like dirt.
