Double Solitaire
Lovingly The Albatross sodomizes Edmond Hoyle
Cawing lonely cries of melody, vapid prick
Takes him in his tepid talons to Cape wrapped in foil
Becoming divine is easy, or sleasy, take your pick
The ocean shudders for a moment, and then begins to boil
Cut the cards, and cut them into the quick.
Fingernails, hacksaw, adze, motor oil
dull-eyed brunette girly mag chick.

Cape Horn Memorial
I am the Albatross that awaits you at the end of the world
I am the forgotten soul of the sailors lost
rounding Cape Horn from all the oceans of the world
But they did not die in the fierce waves
for today towards eternity, on my wings they soar
in the last crevice of the Antarcic winds.
