I was chosen a long time ago
I was one of the ones
parted some seas for a God


all of my cleansing was ethnic back then


all that poison in me --
and where can I get some now?


*


I was dressed to kill
but here today


lugged all this stuff here - just look!
you've no idea
what we lost on the way

*

lovely vampires
or a junkies' club

dead soon
and you too

not to be morbid

life's not to be missed

*

life's short and soon
we'll be nowhere at all

my own irrelevance
comes after

how's yours?

*

how glorious all our defeats
and still the tribe survives in me

the ravages of savages
are nothing to a war

it's out of all such weather
we come

*

game you cheer
and the cheerleaders fuck
and here we are again

having learned my weakness now

pass me a bottle
I'll drink myself over

you could die of the bright
in this kind of suburb

*

all other lives I might have lived
and they'd be over now

you'll believe this, won't you, fools?

bones of a nation to be
ash after all

*

now it's time to stop and play
I'm exercising a choice
I'm making up my own true heart

this is the mongrel me
