08. Of Course

Of course this land is dangerous! 
All of the animals 
Are capably murderous. 

When I was a boy, 
My big brother held on to my hands, 
Then he made me slap my own face. 
I looked up to him then, and still do. 
He was trying to teach me something. 
Now I know what it was! 
Now I know what he meant! 
Now I know how it is! 

One must eat the other  [bad word] free before him. 
Put them right into his mouth 
While fantasizing the beauty of his movements. 
sensation not unlike 
Slapping yourself in the face 
Slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
