This was not written for me

Still it's pretty good.

is this dada (or do i love you)?

by Benjamin Perez

let me make myself perfectly clear:
i am a matador standing on his head reading an almanac printed
upsidedown&backwards

yes, this is both the beginning and the end of song

to exist within this sweet crazed anguish
to exist within this reckless dedication
to exist within this perpetual sunrise of bullfights and propellers

body groaning atop the tender machine gun of ancient fondness

endless corridors of chocolate tigers
endless galleries of lollipop bears

i am a hot whirlwind
i am a wheelbarrow hauling thunder
i am sweet carrion-slow dancing beneath the primordial crime of the vulture's kiss

first: the delicious dangling
then the hot

red

descending

_______

(i beg you
unbuckle my belt)

yes, i am dreaming electricity
let me pour you a sundress of sherbet
let me blow you a nightgown of bubbles
