Generation Whichever

January 5, 2009

We got stuck in the tease of the crevice of your palms

When you did so rudely clap

You wore the crown of a khanki in khaki

And your fire was not one to be tapped.

 

Your coffin was never our mourning glory

Nor a marker of ravaging savagery

Crows refused the breadcrumbs you laid out

Your toes were twisted…without a doubt

And your silhouette flung across a spout

Your ears deaf to your own mumbles

All men wanted, was you in crumbles.

 

No night was as fateful as you had wished

No day as glorious as praise

No dawn will ever be of a musky squirt

No dusk sharp enough for your voice to be raised.

 

That night you had scorned with a squeamish smirk

Our comrades out on a stroll

The frolics of our merry martyrs

Admittedly, never quite raised the polls.

 

That night we had counted from 1 to 10

That night we had sworn off perjury

That night we lost many good men

That night of assumed debauchery.
