8599. ALL AS FAKE AS THE LIMBS ARE REAL

ALL AS FAKE AS 

THE LIMBS ARE REAL

Tired of all this Boardwalk fraud, 

the taffy and the cotton candy man

get pushed aside for someplace else.

Go, just go. We have the flower lady

now, and that clown with egregious

limbs to look at. Fraud pervades the

story. You never were born where

you say you left. I can vouch for

your comfort, but I won't.

What is all this drivel : Madame

Soserious again? She has turned up

the hangman card, for my future, as

dull as the dead; she shrieks though,

and cries aloud! Toiling men who

are taking down the beach tents;

they are getting dragged through

the sand. Little by little I realize:

all things here are the same.

And this is now a foreign land,

this is a foreign land once more.
