“There's little in taking or giving
There's little in water or wine
This living, this living , this living
was never a project of mine.

the gain of the one at the top
for art is a form of catharsis
and love is a permanent flop
and work is the province of cattle
and rest's for a clam in a shell
so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
would you kindly direct me to hell?”
