HELL: The Musical (1st draft libretto excerpts)


To cut and 
paste in this tiny 
place calls for fingers sharp and 
long. I'd say that is
Perfect for this Hell; 
I'd say they 
Belong.
And now, so too
do little you, so don't 
fret; what we have you will get and having had you'll
Get & get & get…
No matter the number,  
high or much
humbler, I ain't seen
an end coming yet…. 

You swore to one 
God. Well, He is 
Here, complete with rod!
(at times it's a prod)
And as far as I know 
The old rules still 
Hold. So, as long as 
There's God,
He's all you need to while away  
Eternity, a-twitch to 
Please His Lordly 
Likes and His 
Somewhat more
Diabolically deviant variations  
On "play."


So,
While you sleep, stare or read I churn out fresh text for you to see a mad mind in mid-dream 'tween two hexes, midst
damned duplexes stuffed
mit dimensional 
multiplexes.… Should you 
ever feel you're beginning 
to get it, lose that thought 
or you'll regret it!


Okay:
What we
Appear to have here 
Is a set for a Hell.
It is still in need of some 
Hellish sounds,
The foulest of smells; 
Only the beastliest best!!
We are here building a
Truly heavenly Hell…
Don't worry the cost;
Most we order from 
Heaven and they write it
off as a loss.
It is, after all,
Mystification 
And we have all the 
Room that we'll need,
Meaning for every
Vocation, and any of those in any
location. See, I call, "Run
the numbers!" A few 
second's of 
thunder and "Poof"
We drown in accountants! After
all it's Hell's doing 
Earth is pestered by
numbers. All those 
digit crunchers would 
be jobless without us and so, given it's 
Hell, still, number 
crunchers do reasonably well, but 
that's a perk all in 
fun. What the fuck! I hate math myself (I can't count 
and you'd better not 
tell--as I said this IS
Hell…) Well we'll chat 
sometime later; I got me a hobby. I really hate fake French headwaiters
so I skin 'em alive
when I find 'em, then put 'em on the 
Moon to dig those big 
craters! Dumb science blames 
asteroids! Ha, ha, ha! Asteroids, my
ass!! Be better to blame fucking bad
adenoids, worse French and, of course the dumb rule
that calls for craters. Hey! It's Hell,
The Spiritual Home of Bureaucracy but 
I'd be willing to bet 
that even in Heaven 
nobody really likes those 
pointy-headed dicks so even 
there a bureaucrat is kept in a cell. Upside they do reasonably 
well. For now. I put a billion accountants to combing files for a 
legend. Some say there's somewhere a loophole, others sneer, "fools gold".
All be cool, I got time (so do you, by
the way. Can you believe it? Some don't conceive it!! Makes my head spin! You're already in Hell. What did you think? You already died. Not many die twice. I could rear-end you. Put a thousand frogs and you in a blender. It'd feel like a supernova up your butt but it ain't gonna kill you. So what to worry?) We ain't gonna kill ya. You ain't gettin out. You're here forever: a fucking long time!! Do the math. "Crunch the numbers." You're here for all time! Anyway I eye it, you fucks are all mine! So suck it up for the long run! Hey! (Who's got the time? Ha, ha, got you!)
Eat me! What you expect? This is Hell 'n' Hell ain't  
S'posed to be funny! Yeah, we got weather but it just ain't getting sunny. One thing about Hell: it stings like fuck and believe me, if it didn't, you'd go bugfuck from boredom. Don't know if you had your afternoon filled but now you're with ME. What I say, I mean & I most always do, unless I don't (stay on your toes!). Hey! What say we blow off some steam and kill us some time? This time we'll go crazy, work up to wild and then off on a spree of truly hienous and fine, deadly, diabolical crime!!!

It's meant to be funny!! Black humour of course. Should be as obvious as a whale's dick
on a donkey. And you'll never guess: got a million on order, a quarter are here. We're gonna get the rest of the donkeys and about 9 zillion beers and on the way back, we try out the whale-equipped donkeys and terrorize queers!!

       ••••••••••••••••••••••••••

What? Is it "safe?" I don't see any real danger; you don't do much. Don't fuck. Don't sleep. Don't eat. Don't walk. Smoke cigarettes, drink cheap beer. Nobody calls. Nobody plays. Imagination's dead (all that is 'cept mine.) So, listen up kids, here's how it works--you care for you and me care for me--everybody is cared for--we are all free! There is still the fact that we are all in Hell--but it IS what we ordered so...what the…Hell? (Hehehehee! You fit like an onion does its skin. Now, where to begin?)
