a fun time can be had in the city
mind the bodiless heads at the entrance
their faces are still and forever pretty
you and this next one may share a resemblence

shout through the street but the echo will be
the curious silence of untold events 
and their creator
the children would tell you but they can't speak nor see
take their loose eyeballs in your pants, 
for later

run from your shadow, the sun's setting soon
your fear of the dark is almost theistic
some thing on the sea shines in light of the moon
a trained adventurer is opportunistic
open that crate and behold your boon
the contained human dolls are so realistic

you may climb to the valley but the descent is steep
there the partyhouse is filled to the brim
here lie the parents, not awake nor asleep
tie them together for their bodies are thin
down the sea over yonder and into the deep
see them drown and wonder, why had they no skin?

a fly on the water comes to pose a conundrum
if your face were another would you feel any different?
then all insects fall dead to beat of a drum
the wet blows are approaching and becoming vociferant
another face is growing over your own now, how fun 
the next mouth utters sweetly the cry of an infant

that new shadow is rising and appears quite unhinged
take a last look around through the piercing exchange
your organs itch and burn, what was in that syringe?
the streets now are empty but damp, red and strange
"Do you possibly want to be pressed like an orange?
it might be a new thing to do for a change."

The light is gone now, you supposed no return
but the eyes in your pocket had a different opinion
through your mashed up remains in the poisonous urn
they roll to the entrance to find a new minion

while you used to have two now you have about fifty
the eyes, that is, presently sit at one level
inside those heads on sticks at the entrance, how nifty
looking forward to fun times with the next poor devil
