ONE FOR MELVILLE

I wore
A tuxedo
And felt like
A thousand pounds
Were in my pockets
And I had
Sunk to the bottom
Of a mud-green pond
I slept
On an electric
Inflatable mattress
And it sunk
In the middle of
The dirt green night
I dreamt
I was in the belly rolls
Of a gigantic
Fat woman
Suffocating in
Her sweat
And in her
Pink blubber
Experience
Has taught me
Not to get
Dressed up
For anything
