Death By Sex

 

His imaginary girlfriend

killed him in the

pleasures of sex

while she recited poetry

on a cool spring night,

near the remnants of

the winter snow

which daffodils grew out of,

by the seaside

near a statue of

Abraham Lincoln,

as a preacher gave

a funeral sermon

in Scots dialect

while holding a rose

with a bird on his shoulder,

bugs in his pants,

and reptiles at his feet,

Sir!
