Hell is a State of Mind

I am a man at home folding my wife�s delicates.
Outside, there�s a ruckus, as usual.

It begins with the flies. Noisy, black flies.
I do not know exactly when�

Most certainly stop in and say I heard this story
about a city of red fire growing from your head,

hooligans dressed in red and white everywhere,
a kingdom of messengers with no king.
