They call me King Cake
I'm so rich
The kind of lonely guy
Very easy to meet
Round ball of marzipan
Very difficult to eat
And in a dream
I creep up on you
Just like weight gain
Discreetly
I drip inside you
Like a limestone glaze
Like a fountain
In a cave
Just like an animal
Sculpted from melted sugar
I'll have you shaking
For days, and days, and days
And when you awake
Your skin
Will stick
To the bed
King Cake

On this spaceship
I don't know how to talk with you
Your ugly face
Eyebrows don't move
Sex is out of the question
We're just skin and bone
A race of colleagues
Horny and alone
I Sense People
My nipples are buttons
My skin's not real
I'd rather say nothing
Than tell you how I feel

You're doing so good
Up down left right, do it 'till you die
You're no ordinary guy
You're super happy
Move those robotic feet
To our highly advanced erotic beat
Left left left left left down right
At the same time
Down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down
Do it 'till you die
Bubblegum pop
Chips and cakes and best friends
Soon we'll go swimming
In the black
Down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down
Do it 'till you die
As we look into the future
We are progressing to the source
A plush and vivid atmosphere
Like a digital neon obstacle course
Where we can appreciate all the colors of the future
And relish in the brilliance of our culture
And dance actively, and act brightly
Free glowing drinks nightly
Down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down
Do it 'till you die

King Cake Brooklyn, New York
Listen!
A child waits to be born; a soul in search of its host, a King in search of his
subjects, a masterpiece in search of an artist. Liminal, naked, lonely – beneath oceans of cream, enrobed in folds of dough…
What is creation? Art? What is ownership?
KING CAKE
...thunderous Bass, mesmerizing Axe, tender 'Bone, howling Trumpet, explosive Drums, and always the mellifluous yawp of the Voice.
