i love you you idiot

Because there's a muskrat

in the bedroom

and a zombie in the fridge

Because the souffle hasn't risen –

Because, because, because –

that's just the way it is

Because the dead have risen

Because the guests are gaga

Because the best of living

Arises from this saga

La la la don't look now - La la la

hey where's she gone!

Whatever happened to

the invisible bonds between us

The electric might of our synergy

The deafening sight of our oneness

The intricate plight of our delicate mystery

La la la like a zombie's pyjama party

our marriage is grey and lifeless

Soon my darling I'll be gone

and you'll be left alone and lost

and beautiful dutiful wifeless

If you carry on putting your business

before our being

If you insist on putting our faith and hope

and love dear

In the oven like a fish

Because I'm not your little dish

Because I'm not a woman

when you treat me like this!

Without love I'm just a human doing

Dishcloth limp I sink and fall

Living without love my one, my heart -

Is like not living

not living at all

I am an alien from the nebulascope dimension

I see through walls masks and recipes

I see through the act the charade

The red hot reduction of forever

To a plate of sauce

And a lump of meat

Made to go through the gullet says Chaucer

so soft and yummy and sicky and sweet

Because the grave is teaming

Because the moon is mean and bloody

Because the crows are preening

Killing time with mannequin eyes

Whether by dint of omission

Someone's gonna pay for their simmering lies

Stop your blithering dithering you brat

Stop your blinking piffle wake up I want you,

you bastard you villain you rat

I love you - I love you, you idiot!

I love you despite my desire to despise

I sent the sheriff to fetch you my darling

To bring you back from the dead or undead

give me a conference call please

when you're alive.
