before i die

I thought: having a fart
that stayed in my body for too long
was like a mouse that got into a bellows and was in a
hurry to get out ,

just like someone tried and couldn't finish it ,
but was suffocated by a bath of urine .
I had a dream on a rainy morning
and dreamed of drinking with the woman I loved.

She threw away her youth and many cosmetics
, except for a can of Coca-Cola.
She used a slender straw to suck the
rest of the food on the table. Is it too much

She said she would throw my son I never met in the
sewer, could that be a robot?
But I don't think I'll be the father of a fish
That's going to die in a scalp that's going to be bald

When the sea is all around people It's when they're
about to dry their pants on a tree It's the
same game I've played it more than once
It's a pleasure You haven't found me this time
