I lay upon my back
in winter dried grass
at the edge of day
the time of Fuji rising

A red eye and eye of blue white
eye to eye
startles me to wake
A full nose of shinin' light
bulbous and pimply too
three tooth smile
and drip of drool
laugh and giggle
enormous humongous 
purple blue clown
lookin' down on me

His hairs cut crew
with a bowl not inverted but up
dyed with the deepest boot black
'cept jagged grayed roots.
folds of Mary Kay pink
phosphorescent gross fat 
roll to his waist
where pants too large hike up 
but dip at the hip
and a golden glow hints
at ponderous nether parts
rising
no wonder he's smilin'
I'm smilin' too
