The Ticket That Exploded

Bizarro descriptions and fucked-up imagery

in the second instalment of the cut-up trilogy

Didn't understand, but this is what I noticed

trying to read The Ticket That Exploded

Something about soldiers, something about gays

depictions of hangings emerging out the haze

Bodysnatching agents ravaging the land...

How much of this was I supposed to understand?

Graphic, morbid and somewhat adventurous,

surrealist shock-porn and overly pretentious

Have you ever looked forward to reading a novel

only only to find your cerebrum is boggled?

Your eyes scan the page expecting a narrative

But what the text says isn't even comparative

Read the whole book although don't know what's expressed

Now feel obliged to read the Nova Express

Was hoping for art that was written on the page,

But subjecting myself to jibberish for days.
