|
A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe |
|
That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode |
|
As he follows a path filled with harried desire |
|
And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire |
|
Glad to have chosen that which left no choice |
|
To sing without loving in a solitary voice |
|
To observe with passion each careful denial |
|
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while |
|
Sometimes I see you in embarrasing ways |
|
You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds |
|
Standing too close, holding your clothes |
|
Smiling at God, the meaning of life grows |
|
No, no I'll never tell and I'll never know |
|
What candles you light after the show |
|
And I'll never tell and I'll never ask |
|
The meaning of life after mass |
