the absolute zero

scared I'm just scared and the radio
is playing out the lies setting the
stage for sex or whatever meaningless
accident destiny decides for us tonight
to share and then store away my god
my friend my would-be lover you kiss
my belly button now that's erotic but
your words won't reach me and my eyes
can't find you I say genius you say weird
does that mean me who am I to you I know
but I dance away from the meat of the matter
the stark naked truth the erect penis ready
to be stroked and adored no I won't let you
inside won't let the tide drown me while you
surf off into the sunset you charm me until
I am placid plasma swimming in your desire
the fire I built the guilt given to me by
my parents religion consumerism talk show
juries half-dead Stepford dolts playing God
for an hour you were in the shower when you
called you knew then what would happen I
would be balled fucked screwed one way or
another you knew it would be me on my knees
and you on your throne alone in the end
let's play pretend we're legendary lovers
and there's magic we snap our fingers the
world disappears and we're all that we need
and lust cancels out
the absolute zero.
