In Case of a German

Between dog and wolf
horse horse tiger tiger
rabbit skins are falling.

A mute eating yellow lotus,
like a bee to a crying face;
thinking about the immortality of the crab.
It rains enough to drink while standing up.

The devil knows more for being old
than for being the devil. He’d steal 
your chickens and beg for eggs.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here:
he’s trying to shit higher than his ass can reach.

Never say that priest is not my dad –
this ain’t my first rodeo.
Every creature that walks ends up in a grill.
If you are going to screw me, at least give me 
a kiss, oiling your moustache in anticipation
of the jackfruit tree bearing fruit.
