| DONCULA
For God so loved the world the He gave
His only begotten son...
Yesterday, I was late as usual
My girlfriend was waiting for me.
She had given me a card where
She had scratched: "How are you nowadays?
Lots to tell you about mine."
I tried to kiss her,
She said she was scared.
Parthenogenetic beauty!
Later, I visited my friend
Who usually buys underwear that
Would later sag after a third wash,
I began to tease, mock him.
Smiling at me, he pulled down his jeans
and
Threw his cheap underwear out of the
window,
He was high.
I left him knowing that he would later
Map his bedsheet with piss.
Mr. Dangling underwear!
Aka Mr. Underwear Nowhere!
I then visited a girl who twice gave
me
The 'just do it' signal.
I had a bottle of rum
With her and then she kissed me goodnight
And whispered: "You can do it to me."
I went home drunk,
I slithered, stole my way into the
house,
And dreamt about God whipping a mosquito
For tasting Christ's blood.
" Long live Christ!
Master, whip his back, clip his wings",
Cried the angels.
This morning I woke up and remembered
Ghalib's lines: " The joy of intoxication
Is not worth the suffering of a hangover."
He does not know me.
I looked at the wall and saw the writing:
"A great beauty lies in simplicity".
Next to a poster of Ozzy Osbourne.
On the table there was a novel titled
Love to Lick by an anonymous writer.
I remembered my parthogenetic beauty,
Mr. Underwear Nowhere, and the 'just
do it' girl.
"Don!", shouted my pimple-squeezing
servant,
"The phone, its for you."
Picking up the phone, I learnt
That Mr. Underwear Nowhere was dead.
He had gotten out of bed and looked
for me.
He wanted to drop me home, his brothers
told me.
He fell down the stairs and never got
up.
Now, no resurrection.
I want to go and touch him.
I want to carve the words "Jesus Christ"
on his back
And taste his blood.
I am the mosquito.
You smile, ah, you're just like me.
My friends call me Doncula,
I don't mind,
But let me tell you this-
Give me cards, kiss me goodnight,
I'll admit your generous, you're horny;
Give me blood,
I will admit that you love me. |
