Pain of Ecstasy

Life is a misshapen dustbin,
A shitbox always ready to
Give you another treat.
How I love the days
Spent running along the river bank,
My whole life behind me
And beautiful girls in front of me!
I just want to bottle it, bathe in it,
Drink a bit of it before breakfast
Each and every day.

I wish I could tell all the strangers
How glorious being a human being can be.

I’d shower them in pools of dopamine
And shower them in a flood of other chemicals
That would make them weep from
The most bald-faced joy.

I wish I could see them,
Orgasming on what I’d bottled for them.
They’d thank me.
They’d shower me with gifts
And raise me up as their king.

I can see through the sky
At the stars, shining like beads of dust,
And planets in all their glory.
I could gobble up the whole universe,
If I could just get some free time.
