Save Me

this fried pig turns my stomach,
glazed eyes &; crisp nose with golden snot,
'tasty', salt-sweat &; grease

give me wisdom in saloons, a lover
skinny-dipping in a whiskey jar, crass
&; exploding with bubbly mirth

give me slathered simplicity, save me
from the scholar's life &; his severity of mind,
offer me the cool life of a dreamer
&; his serenity of mind,
laughter
&; the peaceful barrage
of my wooden edict

Sinister Satyr, let me be,
Let go of my fucking soul!
