The Peak

I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.” Nahum 3:6

I’ve always wondered

If the fame was worth it all.

Fixpzex, partying, jefikzex til dawn

In Paree, Italia, Shibuya.

Met Donatella

And made out with Gaga too.

Then met my greatest lover.

But his love burnt Fuji

Wherever I walked.

I felt his silver tipped

arrow of love in my heart.

Oh, the People gasped!

As we skied in Peru.

Soon it was time for the encore

More!

More!

They all want more!

Epinephrine rushed

In my heart’s Pont de l'Alma.

Faster,

Faster,

Pedal to the metal.

Double, double toil and trouble.

Charcoal burn and my mask bubble.

With one last breath,

My ashen white love sang

And my swan song began!

Pretty my photograph will lay

On top of the velvet ropes and my casket glass

So please, leave it open

For everyone to see me

In my Snow White button down.

Pour Vous.
