Gee-gee

It can hardly be said he lived his life at a canter

hurling warm shit at the scattering crowd

running naked as a wild man

while from behind in a firestorm

music wages war on the senses

ricochet rhythms take no prisoners.

It was punkicide at the end of days

conflagration in a concrete bunker

convulsions of the will

in a dancehall on the shores of the Styx

bowing out in a flourish of hate

like a dark invocation to an American Dream.

All smack and no trousers in the end

as a death foretold his was overdue

lying in state in the murder junkyard

casket as white as oblivion's flare

piss stains on the headstone

where nihilists come to pay their respects.
