"Freak flag upside-down"

Pepto’s not a foodie fave – sometimes wish 

I could just eat sun and sound.

But I bungee jump from my petard-hoists,

and I fly my freak flag upside-down.

I’m having broken windows installed on Monday –

will beat this torn rice paper, for sure.

But at least the dogs’ve got their own couch –

prerogatives of the freak flag unfurled.

After dark, the rivers all run with ramen –

  go fly your freak flag upside-down!

Cats and mice cutting a rug all tonight –

  go fly your freak flag upside-down!

–the tree is same from the leaf.

–the knife is different as the gun. 

All the pants are on fire, but nobody’s crying, 

so I fly my freak flag upside-down.

Eating eyelash salad has yet to help 

anywhere outside of Japan –

and oh the things in their vending machines,

but it keeps their freak flags flying.

Tepid times like these, wish I were more like Bowie: 

hey, go ahead, just be brave and strange.

It’s okay that we’re all adrift and at-sea,

just leave your freak flag out in the wind.

You got more colors than a clown – shine on

and fly your freak flag upside-down!
