So there he lies at the last…

the deathbed convert, the pious debauchee.

Could not dance half a measure, could I?

Give me wine, I drain the dregs and toss

the empty bottle at the world.

Show me our Lord Jesus in agony,

and I mount the cross and steal his

nails for my own palms.

There I go, shuffling from the world.

My dribble fresh upon a bible.

I look upon a pinhead, and I

see angels dancing.



Well… do you like me now?

Do you like me now?

Do you like me now?

Do you like me… now?
