Skunk Eye Spar

The tiki gods of the Tiki Gods
were spotted out behind
the little shanty tarpaulin
of a little land-locked bar
where strangers of the universe
are widely-known to find
their sips of solace in crazed cups
in a spot called Skunk Eye Spar

There's Tiger Lily at a low settee
with her chubby Chinese chums.
They're flirting with the spider monkey
who tends to tend the bar.
The kahuna from the basement
carves the teeth away from gums
of the skulls they leave upon the floor
of rugged Skunk Eye Spar.

NightHawk and the Vaginauts
are haggling for their custom
in the shadow of a bamboo go-down
behind a cliff of vines.
The grotesquerie of mugs that haunt
the fringes of the dive
monitor their odds
for any luck between the lines.

Foolbert Hic-Pipkin drinks
his beans from a can, then
tosses the empty vessel
back into the lonely sea of stars,
and joins the rumbling mumbling
of the life assembled there
for some unforgettable taste of beauty
from inside those ugly jars.

The White Devil is holed up there
and he'll never get too far
from the bleary scowls and robotic owls
of this long-forgotten bar.
White Devil is holed up there
'cause he knows he won't get far
past the reprobates he cultivates
in Skunk Eye Spar...

...where you can hear the oceanic echo of outer space...

Popeye and B'wana Don
were here when things were newer:
before the fall, before the wall,
before the inner scar.
Jimgrim and Chullunder Ghose
mapped the span of tomorrow
from that table in the corner, there,
converging from afar.

The tiki gods of the tiki gods
are hovering out behind
the little ratty tarpaulin
of a tiny land-locked bar
where the loners of the universe
are sometimes said to find
a sip of solace with the crazed mugs
of Skunk Eye Spar.

The White Devil is holed up there
and he'll never get too far
from the furtive scowls and alien owls
of his long-forgotten bar.
White Devil is holed up there
'cause he knows he won't get far
past the reprobates they cultivate
down in Skunk Eye Spar.
