D. T.
The other day indeed,
With my shoe, on the wall,
I killed a centipede
Which was not there at all.
How can that be?
It's very simple,you see-
Just the begining of D. T.
When the pink alligator
And the tiger without a head
Begin to take stature
And demand to be fed,
As I have no shoes
Fit to kill those,
I think I'll start thinking:
Should I stop drinking?
But it really doesn't matter...
Am I thinner or fatter
Because this is this?
Would I be wise or better
If life were other than this is?
No, nothing is right.
Your love might
Make me better than I
Can be or can try.
But we never know
Darling, we don't know
If the sugar of your heart
Woud not turn out candy...
So i let my heart smart
And I drink brandy.
Then the cetipede come
Without trouble.
I can see them well.
Or even double.
I'll see them home
With my shoe,
And, when they all go to hell,
I'll go too.
Then, on a whole,
I shall be happy indeed,
Because, with a shoe
Real and tru,
I shall kill the true centipede-
My lost soul...
(Fernando Pessoa)
