The Wandering Hangman


These towns I have trod

Footsteps crushing gravel

And snow

Singing as I go

Weep through a smile as I sing

Met the Eczema Kid

And the Tumor Man-Thing

Wiping the soot from the dark side of the spoon

Slept often on concrete

Pondering doom

Naked, enraged

Steel locks disengage

So begins my short-lived reprieve from the cage.

There’s no dress like a jumpsuit when dancing

Before the Judge

Romancing

Showing respect while swallowing sludge

The cast of my eyes doth not budge.

The Felons they laugh when they see Crazy

The cajole Crazy; Attack!

They know but little as Crazy

Cannot be cajoled toward attack

(To Provoke is the trick)

Nay, that manipulation

Is just for the Frightened; the Slaves.

Not for the Golden so used to the bars

For the Gold is always barred by sick mental states

(And redundant as advertisements to one such as me)

So piss on me

Beat me

Kill me

Don’t bore me

For banality only death penalties do.
