Copenhagen Ducks?

What becomes of that pile of: unanswered questions,
green lungs that smoked too much jealousy and too much love,
and yellow eyes that never stopped crying,
is not yet known.

But what is known is insanity and laughter:
that damn stupid story gave birth to so much laughter 
that squeezed throats, that tickled the dry heels of old men 
until they died of laughter.

Do you know anything? 
There is no solution to madness but a fake wig of blonde hair
and bright red lipstick to paint your lips red too and your cheeks when they kiss:
a pair of red matching lovers.

There is no sense whatsoever, everyone is insane 
even the Copenhagen ducks are insane.

The puppet is put on the skeleton hand of that woman
who looks like a duck, talks like a duck 
Ducks don’t walk.
she manipulates the cotton thing with no hair
like it’s a husband.

Settle down, the map is burnt and no phoenix
will raise out of the ashes, do you think this is some other
dull legend of rebirths? 
There is no Jesus; Lazarus is gone too - where? 
Where where?

We will need an electroconvulsive shock
hush hush, the ducks are pecking the bready brain 
Do not disturb them or they will peck the bald top of your head.
There and here the red sweet wine (or is it blood?) drinks people.

Never start your day with eyeballs on toast 
did you already? Never let men touch that tooth (should I say truth?) to 
try those tricks today.
No sense, what do I know? 

Stop, stop, stop, stop
let that dog sit on my legs like a child that doesn’t walk. Ducks don’t walk.
let that dog back here to bark at the bones beams beer blackness. 
What did you put in the bloody muddy milkless tea that you made me?
Sugary nuttiness

Thank you, I do thank you I do play
games games of hearts 
love you love you this broken radio set up on a broken heart love you
I do not take sugar in my tea

What is found is not yet known
what is known is that today a bearded man bought himself
a new pair of socks
