Favourite poems and quotes

[JollyForr]

I like Rimbaud a lot. I've got his At the Green Inn memorized. I'm not sure why I like it so much actually.

For a week I've flayed my boots
On the stony roads. I swing into Cherleroi.
-The Green Inn. I ask for buttered bread
And a plate of half-cold ham.

I feel superb - legs at full stretch under the green
Table. I study the wallpaper; check the repeat.
Bright eyes and an enormous cleavage
Earns the barmaid ten out of ten -

Definitely not a shrinking violet. Service
With a smile: in comes my warmish ham
On a Garish plate, and yes, the buttered bread.

The ham's pink and white, frisked with a garlic clove;
She pours me out a massive mug of beer.
A ray of Indian summer gilds the head.

I like Rimbaud a lot. I've got his At the Green Inn memorized. I'm not sure why I like it so much actually.

Ham, buttered bread, beer, cleavage, and a warm sunny day - what's not to like?

day after day
love turns gray
like the skin of a dying man
night after night
we pretend it's all right
but I have grown older
and you have grown colder and
nothing is very much fun
anymore
and I
can
feel
one of my turns coming on
I
feel
cold as a razor blade
tight as a tourniquet
dry as a funeral drum

run to the bedroom
in the suitcase on the left
you'll find my favorite axe

don't look so frightened
this is just a passing phase
one of my bad days

would you like to watch tv
or get between the sheets
or contemplate the silent freeway
would you like something to eat

would you like to learn to fly
would you like to see me try

would you like to call the cops
do you think it's time I stopped

why are you running away





There's a whole lotta Roger Waters written into this unit.
