Ed was at the end of his rope, an expression he "There is no rope", he would scream at the laughing is only the end, no hope, no rope Ending is than mending Doors of perception, of opportunity These are like the killing floor
Ed spoke in a squeaky whiny With perhaps a slight tinge of But was only because he couldn't be bothered To try to a manner of speaking truly reflected his mood
This is a vaccum, there is no air in this is no fun anymore Nihilism three times on the ceiling But the rosy of dawn always inserted themselves In the nose of unfulfilled
sang, "Heysanna, Hosanna" Paralyzed prima-donnas danced in the all day But the darkness came, everybody went home I was ready, everyone was asleep
And while it might have been a to see I was right all along Here I am still, alone and the endless end
And I can it all around And at it and laugh at myself I can louder than the walls, the halls, the waterfalls Louder than De Gaul or Fulton Mall
But I know what I'm laughing at I don't know what I think is so goddamn funny I don't know why I just shut up And give up and lay and die
"What do I have to about anyway?" Ed his Picasso, "I'm a millionaire" wasn't actually true Ed's Picasso was an obvious
His three Rothkos had just singled out In an article in forum' entitled 'The Most Insignificant Paintings of Mark Rothko' And his Krugers had been irreparably damaged By Rein Sanction and a few other bands from That to acknowledge the value of art
"Come to of it", Ed mused To the laminated roadkill table that he had purchased times had seemed slightly less bleak "Come to think of it, not only does art have no intrinsic But my collection has no extrinsic either"
"I I'm not a millionaire But that's no to complain There is no reason to is no reason to do anything"
"I don't in reason, objective reality or collective farming I don't believe in public Which is another why I'm here alone I don't believe in life or I would kill but I don't believe in suicide"
Ed put on a red shirt and took a quick walk the block While softly to himself He reentered his screaming "There is no life on planet"
"Jehovah One replaced all life machinery five centuries ago The so-called Revolution Was another hoax and we all fell for it 'Cause we all programmed to, even I fell for it I believe in the steam Even though I don't in anything"
Logical inconsistency is the Mr. I bathe in and every evening, except for yesterday evening When I roller over to the Masonic Temple To play pinochle with Pope Paul the First I had no choice in the matter"
Ed certainly go on and on And he did, and he and he will Until you or I or somebody something about it Sterno of Louisiana Announced closed circuit television And as long as he continues to pontificate I do nothing
Ed walked away the program feeling fortified and stapled His brain was buzzing, the way it always did just after He loaded up the micro bus with and poseidons And headed for Pope
"I've had it", he sang, "I've had it puns, alliteration literature, Italian neorealism Meaningless cross and laundry lists of nonsense I shall drive without a license, without clothing, direction"
"And if I make it to Arkansas, And if I'm running late, if I'm running a game It matter, I shall keep on running"
"Yes, this is the answer, this is the ending, I keep on running Because a body in tends to stay emotional And it's better to feel, pain is better than Emptiness is better nothing, and nothing is better than this"
