Something Fast

Daddy looks less human with his forehead all cut up,
We put a bullet through his temple but it didn't shut him up.
The ghost in the hallway pushed me to my knees,
I don't know what happened next but I know things come in threes.
My tongue got trapped in the eyehole of a mask,
Then I had to find something and then complete a useless task.
I went to a party where I was the epitome of wit,
Got into a violent fight but couldn't land a hit.
Reunions with friends gone more years than I'll name,
And flashes to a time before the ice age came.
A virgin whore waiting for me all hot and wet,
Scenes of things that haven't happened yet.
Tattered dresses and a bookcase in a cloud,
Linked me to another world, a bed behind a shroud.
I dreamed you down stairs of slate,
I dreamed you a broken nose.
I dreamed you a favoured fate,
I dreamed you blood-soaked clothes.
I dreamed you dead.
No shoulders for corsets,
Dinners with marmosets.
A fist-full of garrote wire,
Clinging to a church spire.
All painfully derivative,
Yet still indicative.
Of something,
Or nothing.
