And this is all from October '69.
I wrote a circus trilogy, and nobody liked two of them.
So this is the only one left.
And it's sort of the way I feel.
See, the joke is always on me, no matter what I do.
Somehow the joke is always on the poor,
and I happen to be poor.
Though, with my planets and the places they are,
I carry myself as if I weren't.
"The Dwarf."
From where I stand, fat lady, I can
see you winding the radium clock in your vagina,
while your half life, already caught in the lymph nodes,
is burning out.
I can see the pimples on your knees growing red.
Hair sprouting, split at the tips, each a great antenna.
Your toes wiggling in despair.
And there in your eyes, my own shoe-like face,
laced with the same uncontrollable laughter.
That's it.

Domo arigato
gozaimashita.
In Japanese, that means thank you very much.
And it's a very polite thing to do.
