One Won
One won, wan, win, when, wonder for wander,
Schmicket, bricket, who the hell broke it.
Smoke it, toke it, lock it up and foke it.
Lolly, dolly, waggle, jangle, jiggle, wiggle,
Play with a giggle.
Touch it, much it, muck it, suck it,
Bite it, right it, fight it, might it,
Become what we want it or dream it or stream it
Or swim it or drown it or give it or kill it.
It is what it is.
We do what we do.
Everything dies before our eyes
Wherever it flies, whatever it lies,
Incredible pies, on credible lies, attracting cries
On fakeable tries, with crocodillwords
They shoot us down they shoot us up
We have ourselves we have ourselves
Flaming to blaming framing to maiming
Chewing to pieces paying the leases
Subscribing to lynching, inviting and pinching
And scrinching and grinching and spinning and winning
And losing and boozing and groozing and choosing
And weeping and sleeping and pissing and moaning
And frowning and smiling and laughing and dying.
