J'ai du vouloir mourir
Chaque fois j'entre ce classe
Et ma chere Mme. Cline salue-moi
avec un petit "hélas."

Je n'aime pas petits trucs
et les examens sucent
Le diable et debout
devant mooooiiiii...

J'ai du vouloir mourir
Vou-loir mourir.

An Ode to Poetry

I ask you to take a poem
and hold it up to the lighter
to start a warm fire

or press a knife into its side.

I say drop a bomb into a poem
and watch the fire eat its guts out,

or ransack the poem's room
and keel over anything standing.

I want just to slowly pee
across the surface of a poem
wiping the author's name on my pos-ter-i-or

But all they want to do
is pick at the poem, maybe give it a poke
and torture some analysis out of me.

They begin beating me with some prose
to find out what it really means.
