Dozing while watching TV

I am he of green thoughts
and alcatraz -- trapped in a forest
of lazyboys and honeydew melons

This is my quest: Freedom
Honesty and liver mashed
in dry wine served with toast.

I am he of long division
and water coolers -- camping in a desert
of plastic wrap and action figures.

This is my dream: Holiness
Frigid nights alone with a pan flute
and a drunken orgy with greek gods.

I am he of St. Bernards
and strawberry shaped pin cushions -- eating
multivitamins full of iron from the Lusitania.

This is my prayer: Death
Lies and happy despair
but all for free. Always free.
