Welcome to Bangkok
to the pseudo-karmic explosion of angst
the existentialist book report on American life
the obsessive compulsive body-worship shrine
the masses roiling clutching dance sucking flakes
the screaming throat tearing romp of glorious pain

Welcome to Tatou
to the absurd made certain through sound
the line with a hook and some careworn bait
the pleading despair oh how I hate to cry at tea
the narcissist and the pessimist fighting over pills
the ringing shaking mind numbing fall of unbound lust

Welcome to Limousine
to the guilt fires burning by every door
the shivering romp through the musty dungeon
the melancholy beast slumbering in fits and fights
the chubby imp screaming for milk and honey
the blistering face shattering flood of panic heat

Welcome to Guernica
to the handcuffs of the master holding fast
the struggle to stay afloat on bits of sharp debris
the gouts of choking stifling smoke between your lips
the absolute certainty that loneliness is compulsory
the dead weight suffocating crush of sensory overload
