tonight i bury old William without remorse,
because Hell sleeps around and Heaven wants a divorce. tonight i burn my bookshelf to be free,
because even a rebel tradition is slavery.
tonight i bake my madness a birthday cake,
because even the insomniacs aren't awake.
tonight i burn my home while Beethoven plays,
so tomorrow i can live like i died yesterday.
today a stampede killed Superman,
and Apollo and Dionysius both got hanged.
today the Revolution laughed and spit in my face,
but all-expenses-paid DADA will take its place.
today the dropouts were smarter than the PhDs,
as they took off with everyone's car without the keys. today i bled failure all the way up to the sky,
and i grinned hopelessly as i sit down to die...
