Da Bum's Final Exit, (a poem)

Prostrate on a rusty port 

& piss-defiled  mattress 

At the Suicide Hotel

A bum in the land of 

Nod as a prurient rat

Grazes on his calf &

Gore & pus plops, plops &

Seeps downward into a

Ochre pool of blood to

Sullen ceramic squares 

Oozing a nasty redolence

& by & by da bum goes the

Way of all ghostly flesh as

His ticker’s nipped in the bud

Da bum’s innermost self bee-

Lines to da abode of da dead 

& da Gods deem him debauched.  

In the Divine Comedy Dante describes Hell as an inverted cone descending into 9 shrinking fdarings; finally reaching the flaming corp of the earth. 

The nine circles of hell in Dante's Inferno are Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery. Each circle serves as a punishment and a reflection of the grave sins people committed during their time on earth.

Hence, the bum drowns over and over again in an ocean of whiskey. Purged, the bum's soul dehydrates into desert dust, goin nowhere, way gone man.
