Erica’s ass fills my cup as if it were the Holy Grail
And her blood flowing wine, her pheromones' meat in the dark
Like Jesus and her golden feet come walking towards me,
She’s a wonderful woman and I’m the indestructible man,
Her flaxen hair in pig-tails, horned rimmed glasses and braces
She’s like four perfect women rolled into one—
We’re a couple, just like I planned—
She’s a clone just like her mother
With a black and white smile for miles—
The Sexual revolution in the West
And the Cultural Revolution in the East
Occurred almost simultaneously—
In the West this produced psychedelic-pop culture
While in the East military dictatorships—
But post-fascist Catholicism in Latin America
Also created military dictatorships
While in South East Asia sexual tourism thrived—
It was called the Cold War but it was hot like fire
With legal prostitution and death squads—
Now we have radical Islam
And hypersexualized adolescent culture—
And the avant-garde is dead
Killed by the Korean War, PLAYBOY, the Viet Nam War, and LSD
The Japanese are dying off
Even as they clone their women and build robots to replace themselves—
To keep making the violent porn that everyone likes—
Like Erica’s ass filling my cup her piss like Holy Water turning to wine—
Welcome to the reality of the beatnik Buddhas and punk rock prophets,
Pornographic poets and ugly strippers—
