I Cannot Lie

I fancied myself a poet today

And lo! I took a yard

I’m always seeing ambulance backwards

And for that I pedal new york city

I ate raisins in columbus circle

I thought about the military

Oh, I cannot lie

Upon moving the chain caught my pant leg

I know, I know, I can be a bit ruddy

Thoughts were infinite, varied repeating

I think I was almost happy

No sex, my wounds were opened

Blood in shit in vast whale gut drumming

Oh, I cannot lie

Through public library hallways a memory amused me

Once, I slipped on a banana peel

Lord’s honest truth, jolie was there

How marvelous, self-amusement

Then later, by the water

Tired, I reflected upon the splendid day just had

Oh, I cannot lie
