Not Again, Please

"I've just pulled a porn star"
Oh for fuck's sake not again
It's another strawberry tsunami
Despite what everyone says
I feel like I've taken a twelve punch combination
From Javier Osvaldo Alvarez

I don't want to be in the vicinity
Of brain-dead arrogant vermin
Gassing with fervour about stage-managed miasma
As I lament at the chances they're spurning

I'm mournful that so many good men
Feed their innards to the mouth of adaptation
Their slap 'n' tickle grins tell of their blessed evolution
I cling to the flickering torch of civilisation.
