The Fish

I dreamt red. where i was swallowed by a giant fish with purple eyes and the frame of the bed was rattling against my elbows and i was crying... "don't leave" but I left you. touching the scar by my left eye, you carved a greater scar than all the rest while that you cured. Let sleeping dreams lie, you said, but I'll be forever looking for your smile in her eyes. And so I cried. For you I was that little girl. Someone no one else knows as you know. And for them I will forever deny. Not your woman, not your little girl, no, not I, by the bedframe in the night. Isn't it surprising how words and phrases associated with a former flame become so sacred that to repeat such affirmations is to betray? The fish was asking me before it swallowed me whole. And I told it the red was delicious. that raw was delicious. and if it grew a tail I would gladly suck it and if it grew teats I would gladly milk it with my thighs.

How To Shut A Woman Up (The Ancient Masculine Tradition)

You are delusional.
(Shut up)
You are delusional.
(Shut the fuck up)
Anything I say is right because you are delusional.
(Shut up)
Anything you say is wrong because you are delusional.
(Shut the fuck up)
Woman, irrational.
Man, rational.
Woman, emotional irrational.
Man, logical, rational.
And we are tactical: You are delusional.

(Chorus)
I've heard it from my father,
I've heard him say to mother.
I've heard it from my father
He's heard it from his father,
He's heard him say to his mother,
We've all heard it before,
How effective is the logic,
how rational the tactic.
Man,
Lusional,
Woman,
Delusional.

You are delusional.
(Shut up)
You are delusional.
(Shut the fuck up)
Anything I say is right because you are delusional.
(Shut up)
Anything you say is wrong because you are delusional.
(Shut the fuck up)
Woman, irrational.
Man, rational.
Woman, emotional irrational.
Man, logical, rational.
Lets us be tactical: You are delusional.

(Repeat)
