Dead Dog
I dreamed of being a surrealist
like my Dada, until I rejected him.
Now there is just existence
and the terror of what is.
Dog the civiliser is gone.
Now the dreadful freedom brings
the nausea of existence,
nausea at the absurdity
of the arbitrary.
The lugubrious paranoiac,
le viol, avida Gala,
devoured by dollars.
Sexual instinct, savouring
the sentiment of death,
Deception exists solely
in the subjective, personal certainty
of the believer.
Mine is the cult of esoteric mysteries.
Having no need of lies, fables and romances,
I believe that which is absurd.
Celstial teapot, my redeemer.
Gala pie, my sustenance.
Anguish of space time conquered.
Inherently more important than others,
I am happy dog is dead,
the distress of others doesn't matter.
the dog it was that died.
Allusions to Nietsche. Kirkegaard, Sartre,Dali, Russell, Magritte, Goldsmith and possibly others.
