Scheherazade
(or why men die younger than their wives)
Old woman, how you ramble on so.
Muzak spilling from your mouth
like cold soup you feed this dying fish
a poor imitation of the real thing.
Who’s neck are you trying to save?
When I’m gone your next.
Come now Gabriel, step up to the mike,
and play that horn.
It still beats the hell out of Muzak,
played by an amateur.
Gabrielle’s Horn.
Gabrielle’s Fog Horn.
Gabrielle’s Fog creeps in on
little cat’s feet,
on little death’s feet.
Well come on then, net this dying fish.
It’s not as though this dull, drab, boring life,
has not made me ready.
I’ll at least get away from Muzak.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
