I thought the puffs of smoke were poetic
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
The transformers and their insulating fluid sparked to fiery afterburner
Silver planes of Beluchistan's animal farmhouse
Watched over by the sword and the shield of the House of Midas
Noriega, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden
our children are sent to school and taught when to misbehave
and then we eat them
ten years after they, like Chinese food, need reinforcement
Look! There's Iran!
The IRGC is in Bolivia
and some good smack, too
Naked Lunch is a moveable feast
The All-Seeing Eye knew damn' well the hijackers were on-time and on-schedule
on-course and the wars were on
John O'Neill knew, too
And if the house of cards stood too steady
why, then, Puff the Magic Dragon clicked a mouse
and brought down the house
I grow old I grow old I will wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled
That it was a contrived event is inarguable
Does this argument make my ass look tired
