lyrics

I wanna be like a Chekhov tree
or the Compson family,
that way I know that my suffering
is the result
of the class overhaul,
that dear Karl thinks we need.

I wanna be the Coleridge albatross --
murdered by superstition,
eventually, coming back
and haunting;
the British really love their irony.

I wanna be like Toomer's setting sun --
imperfection implies a horizon.
And I wanna be Basho's banana tree,
I wanna be where my name comes from.

I wanna be like Shakespeare's jew
the whipping boy of what Christians knew
to be mercy.
And I wanna be like revenge:
Swift, like Jonathan's opinion,
of English grammar.

I wanna be ruthless and superficial
elite and controversial.
If not, important,
at least historic.

Even though, I feel like a Monet.
