Sofa Head

Sofa Head...

Sofa Head believed that his head was full of hair
Not like a hamster, more like an armchair

His father said to Sofa Head:
“The shards of mechanical time
Are biting each soft second
As they filter through your mind.”

His mother said to Sofa Head
“Why do you wear your hair so long?”
And Sofa Head said
“KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER!!”

And they had marmalade
And kicked the pantry out into the street and lived happily ever after

I think that silence is appropriate, and it shall remain appropriate

…

His father said to Sofa Head
“My son, I give to thee
The total of my lifetime's work
An alcoholic legacy
The ballpoint blue of old tattoos
The shrieks of a drunken whore
The wine-red stains on both the plains
A slip on the lavatory floor.”

Sofa Head believed that his head was full of hair
Not like a hamster, more like an armchair
And Sofa Head was sure he could pull out
More and more and more and more...

They say that I'm unusual, but I don't think that's true
In fact I'm just as usual as any one of you!
And you are just as usual as any one of me!
We are all, as usual, a usual family
We're usual, we're usual, we're usual, we're usual
We are usual!
