Bollywood Platinum Blonde

Once upon a time, I don't know what...
and then it was more
or less like this... like this...
and the rest I don't remember...
but I'm almost sure
that lasted forever
while they were happy...

Odalisques passed by me
and kafilas and bedouins and caravans
and I, hardened eunuch
made swordfish eyes
and set fire to the harem.

Courage, so to speak
it is a permeable membrane
between the deep desire to stay
and the imminent time to leave.

I reached the edge of the abyss
and ran back home...
I wanted to pee!
Not at sea! I would never do it at sea.
Too much anti-ecological.
