I’ve been rich in disaster,
the kind that breathes but doesn’t move
when you bend the knee, to sit,
and lower your bottom half,
the switch is hit, and
violent musk fills the room
and then there is nothing, but you, and it
your sympathy, and eye lids
wincing and waking open, 
to watch the trees grow
the sun toss coins,
and the bulb wane,
and wax
but, still, time does not exist here

I’ve been rich in disaster,
and have saved many men
pumping silver into a juke-box to play 
the same three songs
"i'll tell you everything about being free"
but only when IT comes to Susanne, him and you
you can only hold so many pebbles, when it comes to me
