Anaesthetic

Im burning out the tv tubes,
Its three oclock & Im confused
Cause commitment is so complete,
Its burning little holes in me
I know that I might look a mess,
And shes so perfect in that oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen,
Shinning out in velveteen
Im delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem ok
Youre my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
I love it when she comes around,
Shes a firework that never ends
A micro chip inside my brain,
Im crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way I am,
Im buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade,

Loves anaesthesia
Puts to sleep malignant hates,
More love will kill it

Married sex is like being awake during your own autopsy. It is root canal work without anesthetic.

The state should, I think, be called 'anesthesia.' This signifies insensibility.

Each wrong act brings with it its own anesthetic, dulling the conscience and blinding it against further light, and sometimes for years.

To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia - to mistake an ordinary young woman for a goddess.

With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you've fallen into good hands - someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence.

Flailing Across the Days

Flailing across the days
it is fulfilment of
anaesthetic isolation
to be unknown in this
populous desert
and throbbing clarity
of loneliness
to be remembered by one
I love.
Feb 1972

Heart Anesthesia

Oh give me anesthesia
This breaking heart is torment!
I'll even take amnesia
To forget this pain Love sent.

Can't take the trip of Romeo
And Juliet in their exit,
Suicide's quick I know
But life's too fun to delete.

A doze of gin or brandy
May provide the cure I need
These bottles come in handy
But my pockets they will bleed.

A new source of euphoria,
An attraction that is new -
That's good heart anesthesia
And I hope that one is YOU.
