Ode to an Old Man

The old man accompanies
A lonely naked infant and pelican
Against the time that he will die king of invalids
Confirms the virtue of flesh and the isolation of heart
Saws the entirety of forest trees
And as slowly as possible
Constructs a ghost ship
It showed from under his nightgown
Only chipped teeth were loaded
The old man goes out of his native land
Of hemorrhoids and lung diseases
Rides a deep swell that's continuous from under his skin
And prostrates his hirsute wife
With a toxin of her black breasts
Even human mind is clamorously disturbed
Even the jellyfish body is clouded
The old man laughs without reserve
Banzai
Banzai
Because death for once is a new experience
On the night to cross the unhinged border
The fish belly yet to be torn incessantly gleams
Incessantly contracts
And besides adding pressure terribly
Is erotic
And doesn't let the courteous old man sleep
With the sensuality of a gauzy moon
The old man reminisces
To put it correctly, creates
For the stomach and bladder
A desert night without shifts
Calls of hyenas and vultures
A city where stars and sands rank equal
And sitting at the center of flames in a hut
Tries to boil the sumptuous blood
In the king's heart the bowl
An existence like a basket
Left upside down in vain
No splendid nude dancer shows up
In the uneasy world of hair
The master of a barbershop flashes his razor
And shaves the old man's large head
Coldness of plaster
As a beautiful dead man
As the guardian deity of the infant and the pelican
He is moved to a place where he won't get in the other's way
