Against Nature
Once Jung and Freud were arguing
And you can read about it
Like I did today
And Freud pissed his pants
And Jung offered to psychoanalyze him.
Years later Freud was rolling into
Some town where Jung lived
And decided not to drop by.
Can you blame him?
But this is called
In psychoanalytic circles the
“Kreutzenhollerin Blick”
Or something like that.
When Jung was a baby
He had two personalities
Number 1 and Number 2
But that’s ok…so did his mama
Years later he was asked to come back to Germany.
Declare Hitler insane.
He preferred not. He was busy.
“And who isn’t crazy these days?”
Crazy men is leading us, my friends
Even before my First Communion
I knew I had to get away.
School? Nuns?
A town with a West End and an East End?
Who signed me up for this?
You don’t get no points in
Those louche joosh joints.
Runnin’ from the Paterrollers.
Shortcut through Fairview cemetery
Goin’ to the library
With a note from my mama.
“Please let Joey take out any book he wants.”
Knew all about zombies.
So when my grandmother got up from the grave
And followed me down
The weasel around her neck with its red eyes
Her sayin’ “The turkey is a little dry, Jean.”
I didn’t say “Feets don’t fail me now.”
Might have whistled a bit though.
The Patterrollers.
And when oh them cigarette girls got up
Dead after 30 years at Sun Ray Drugs
Following me down and when all them
Patterrollers started following me
Maybe I walked a little faster
Quick look behind but
They was circlin’ round.
“Who isn’t crazy these days?”
And then at the library.
“You can’t take out that book.”
That note from your mama
Don’t cut any ice.”
I stole the book.
Outside all my Zombies.
Bowing before me.
Crying “Ourance. Ourance!”
Which wasn’t my name.
And is the point.
Its ZERO degrees here in Yellow Knife
And we is grateful.
I am in my little room
And when death comes
We gonna have a “Kreutzenhollerin Blick.”
Death on the street I lean out the window.
Like Scrooge on Christmas Day!
“We’re havin’ a “Kreutzenhollerin Blick” Mr. Death.
And I am not at home to you.”
Him goin' away saying
“Who isn’t crazy these days?”
And I won’t answer the door either.
That’s how they got Mozart.
I’m waitin’ for the Groovemaster.
