Here are some poems from the book 'Love Is A Dog From Hell' that Jon's sings about in the song ''it's just me''.
YOU
you're a beast she said
your big white belly
and those hairy feet.
you never cut your nails
and you have fat hands
paws like a cat
your bright red nose
and the biggest balls
I've ever seen.
you shoot sperm like a
whale shoots water out of the
hole in it's back.
beast beast beast,
she kissed me,
what do you want for
breakfast?
TRAPPED
don't undress my love
you might find a mannequinn;
don't undress the mannequinn
you might find
my love.
she's long ago
forgotten me.
she's trying on a new
hat
and looks more the
coquette
than ever.
she is a
child
and a mannequinn
and
death.
I can't hate
that.
she didn't do anything
unusual.
I only wanted her to.
MY GROUIPE
I read last Saturday in the
Redwoods outside of Santa Cruz
And I was about 3/4's finished
When I heard a long high scream
And a quite attractive
Young girl running toward me
Long gown & divine eyes of fire
And she leaped up on the stage
And screamed: ''I WANT YOU!
I WANT YOU! TAKE ME! TAKE
ME!''
I told her, ''look, get the hell
away from me.''
but she kept tearing at my
clothing and throwing herself
at me.
''where were you,'' I
asked her, ''when I was living
on one candy bar a day and
sending short stories to the
Atlantic Monthly?''
she grabbed my balls and almost
twisted them off. her kisses
tasted like shitsoup.
2 women jumped up on the stage
and
carried her off into the
woods.
I could still hear her screams
as I began the next poem.
maybe, I thought, I should have
taken her on the stage in front
of all those eyes.
but one can never be sure
wether it's good poetry or
bad acid.
DOG
a single dog
walking alone on a hot sidewalk of
summer
appears to have the power
of ten thousands gods.
