THE UNDEAD MESCAL WORM

last night I had a terrible accident

as the same, we’re seeing

in the last glass of Mescal

and the things we do are

from the last bottle of Mescal

round and shapeless all in rows

I found an undead Mescal worm

but weightless

placed upon the balance

I noticed it only as it was too late

and the world turns

the Mescal worm lived 10 years in the

last bottle of Mescal-always happy

some are heavy

now it wanders around my body looking for

a simular nice place

and their partners

balance on the 4 walled (armed)

pneumo-rods

at the moments it lives in my head and from my thoughts

and curve

towards the non-centre

so I must allways drink Mescal

Poor worm.

and the world tips towards

it’s end
