IT GOES SO FAST
If this is Life, give me two. If this is
but a moment instead, I want it back.
I was a soldier in the Crimean War and
I did all you wanted and more - now,
now you sorry bastards you haven't a clue.
I want to be paid and I want my due. This
life is a chocolate nightmare, inchoate, unmasked
and ill-formed. Most of all, since it has brought me
you, it has been nothing but unmitigated toil, and
a tragic violence that I here renounce. I mislaid
your steeple, upon your God I pounce.
It all goes by so fast.
