ETINACIOUS JOY
It started when you arrived
I'd died when you left
Now I'm still dying
And the bottom is nowhere near.
Oh Evening Joy!
Oh Delicious Venom!
Slitting the throat of Trust
And murdering Love a many

Reason with me, Perfect Weapon
Are you lethal enough
To mortify in one swift snatch
And cut my anguish loose?

Reason again, Mortiferous angel
Do She-Devils wear horns?
Or they come in their beauty
With flaming fire in their eyes,
Crippling smiles on their lips
But with bottomless pits below?

Jump in, you accursed!
Drown in the ever present latex pit
And be decorated with a prize
A rubber ring on the index finger
Souvenir from the last clown.
Only then shall you experience
The true ETINAcious Joy.
