Deraileur


This thing keeps on coming
 off and making all of us stop
  and wait for thick fingers to
force it back on
unfamiliar with the progression
       of time in a journey, it
fails to see what all the fuss
     is about.
After all, it's not really going anywhere
     just moving around in circles.
It doesn't seem to want conversation, but
   gets my blossoming rosary of
curses and horrible utterances
            anyway

  Time is not any real thing at all,
      the smart people say this
   by way of excuse,but tell that
            to someone who is thirsty
      or hungry or horny or bored
           or who really wants to pee
           
At the mercy of this piece of
    metal, being a fucking
         bastard and making
            me walk three miles
looking like a giant piece of fruit
         or a court jester
in pants so tight
       i swear they can tell if
            i've been circumcised
          at fifty paces,
at this moment I can sense my
      place in the universe
and it ain't very prominent..

          There will be no
             parade
      at the end of the
              tour.
