Lou - King Missile

Lou wanted to be noticed and understood

But he was so quiet

So one day he wrote the following poem:

A four or five piece band

Where three or four of the people don’t play any instruments

Performed in front of an audience

Consisting solely of six foot two lesbians from Anchorage Alaska

A kind of healing feeling friendly Sam

For a fortnight and a half a ham and cheese

Insinuating strenuous selfishness

And culminating in

Concrete caribou tissue

And crucified cats

After finishing the poem, Lou left it on the dining room table

Then he went into the bathroom

Slit each wrist seven times

And quietly died

No one noticed but everyone understood

No one noticed but everyone understood
