Ode to Shanghai

February 6th, 2008

In this dark and this empty
land that I dwell
where heaven is earth
and heaven is hell
deceit is the game
self is the world
the gift of a turtle
love has unfurled
flesh for a time
blood for a pearl
chickens for boys
ducks for the girls
Shanghaied in Shanghai
eat crow and stew pigeon
buddhists turn christian
peace clouding their vision
the sky is not grey
the grass is not brown
upside and down
spin it around
mei ge ren pian ren
mei ge xin tai hei
nothing nice to hear
nothing nice to say
gouge out your eyes
and play in the sun
sometimes the blind
can forget there is none
the sign of the beast
best worn for luck
the masses are dying
while none give a fuck
Shanghaied in Shanghai
cant call it hell
the devil won't come
there're no souls to sell

What is Fragilebob?

frag·ile adj. - Lacking physical or emotional strength; delicate

bob - A common name, often short for Robert, which carries various historical and proverbial connotations undistinguishable from one another in the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything.
Less importanly, a search for the meaning of bob also returns more than 20 definitions as verbs, nouns, and adjectives, making it undiscernable from the other myriad of bob's when taken out of context.

Together fragile and bob create the hopless, futile, and unimportant (yet pathetically self-indulgent) being, "Fragilebob", who balances on a precipice holding what he perceives to be the weight of Atlas' burden upon his meek glass frame as the sword of Damocles slowly dangles from the finest ass-hairs of god like a deadly dingleberry. Fragilebob knows this defacant shard rests poised to destroy him should he forget his humility or penance and stumble but one centimeter from his eternal duty of self-deprecation and sacrifice.

Send Fragilebob To China!

There has been an overwhelming demand to get rid of this tragic reminder of what America can do to a mind with no substantial denial techniques.

But, as it turns out, Fragilebob is just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Will you let him go?
