He knew he was a bit off place, a plump, an old troll in a human place.
It doesn’t matter, he told himself - what matters is that I can be myself.
He went up to the bar and ordered a double scotch, and then another, and another and another.
He got pretty drunk as per usual, it doesn’t matter, when you’re a troll you gonna fall anyway.
You gonna lay on tables, and read dark and depressive poetry.
You gonna throw up, get thrown out and fall asleep.
You’re gonna dream of all that beauty, that will hit you one day.
You gonna wake up proud of yourself and do it all over fucking again.
A troll has his own territory. A troll always writes his own stories.
No matter what he says, it’s all made up: Hey, ho, hey, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!
A troll always dreams, and like any other dreamer, they believe in it,
and they want to dream, like Frank Zappa & The Mothers, like John & Yoko and the others.
And they do, but they fail, as their heads shed their tears and their blood boils hotter than the sun
Nothing weird about it, it’s like love, like you humans should know all about.
Dreaming is hard work for a troll, but with a bar it’s easier.
Jump in, drink, thrown out, drink for pleasure, drink for pain, shut of the brain.
Come out to please you, little troll, come out for fun, let’s find a dive, and lose control. to explore and to pray, our love for the child.
