Tower of Babel in Ultraviolet
Poetry by Lenny Della Rocca
Electrons piss the bees off in a grave
So many noisy lovers in the bathroom
It’s tantamount to pouring death on fish
Of course the ants are lesbians with baggage
While rapists count the stars and make a wish
Fortune is a brave but lonely lilac
But anything that’s licked can have a smell
If all the thieves in Moscow wore a habit
We could sneeze and let them go to hell
How many former guards would eat the princess
I would not hang a donkey from a roof
Poetry by Lenny Della Rocca
The theater guest of Bellview is a penis
Electrons piss the bees off in a grave
“Oh nurse!” it calls when all it’s heads are bleeding
A Mayan lectures gadgets to behave
So many noisy lovers in the bathroom
It’s tantamount to pouring death on fish
Of course the ants are lesbians with baggage
While rapists count the stars and make a wish
Fortune is a brave but lonely lilac
But anything that’s licked can have a smell
If all the thieves in Moscow wore a habit
We could sneeze and let them go to hell
How many former guards would eat the princess
I would not hang a donkey from a roof
But claws and forks are crude inside her panties
She tames the street with cuts and stays aloof
And now the mouths of Baghdad have been burdened
An archeologist confirms that God is dead
He pulls a cork from someone’s angry nephew
Until the world explodes inside his head
Lenny Della Rocca writes: "I've always been a fan of surrealism. I have a poem called Letter to André Breton but it has been published. I've got many, but you're asking for one poem - so here it is."
