lyrics

Thought about holy skirts — to tune of “Wheels are growing on rose- bushes.” Beneath immovable — carved skirt of forbidding sexlessness — over pavement shoving — gliding — nuns have wheels.

Undisputedly! Since — beneath skirts — they are not human! Kept carefully empty cars — running over religious track — lo- cal — express — according to velocity of holiness through pious steam — up to heaven!

v LiFe = 1 daMn thing aFter another

What for —
what do they unload there — why do they run?

Senseless wicked expense on earth’s provisions — pious idle- ness — all idleness unless idleness before action — idleness of youth!

Start action upstairs — he?
How able do that — all of sudden — when on earth — machinery
insufficient — weak — unable to carry — virtuous? Virtue: stagnation.

Stagnation: absent contents — lifeblood — courage — action! action-n!

Why here?
What here for —?
To good? ah —!? hurry — speed up — run amuck — jump — beat it!

farewell! fare-thee-well — good-bye! bye! ah — bye-ye-ye!

We — of this earth — like this earth! make heaven here —
take steps here —
to possess bearing hereafter — dignity.

That we know how to enter: reception room — drawing room — banquet hall of:

abysmal serious jester

whimsical serene power!

Poke ribs:
old son of gun —
old acquaintance!

Kiss: knees — toes!
Home —!

Our home!

We are home!

After:

smiling grim battle — laughter — excitement — swordplay —
sweat —
blood— —!

After accomplishing — what sent for to accomplish. Children of His loin — Power of power.
