Ode to Frank

Things were going fine that night,
Then she walked into the room,
I think it's when i took that drink,
Of milk, what sealed my doom.




The curtains danced, our bodies glanced,
The walls began to breathe,

A slow advance, a weird romance,
Too see, but not believe.





But other eyes were in that place,
I swear I saw them there,
Three other guys, a blurry face,
Believe me if you dare.




So, I ran into the shattered street,
In fractured beads of light,

Up was down and left was right,
So far out -- out of sight.




I waded, godlike, onto shore,
The cloth of time unfurled,
But that's what happens, trippin' on ACID,
As "FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD"!

And I'd always believed that I didn't understand poetry.

You needn't understand poetry, just submit to the power of the POET!!!
