Stranger Things
Bread and water, bread and water
Would that I had borne a daughter!
So you wouldn't send me away
Ride in on Al-Buraq
Do you think I would take you back?
After all that you have done?
I'm not a poet, but for you I'll deal in metaphor
You are the lamest of asses
You've not two, but five faces
And they called you noble!
Noble! No--not really.
Noble! No! Not ever! Never!
Run for my life and the life of my child
To think, to think, you smiled and smiled
To me you are forever a villain
I am awake, but not really awake
The angel stopped my knife to say
"If you suicide, no one will take you seriously!"
