very cross hairs missed me by a pubic centimetre

rage against the dying of the light

fire ice fire ice fire ice the big bangled whimper how nice

Lon's got a hunch clang, the rusty bells

SONNET #14: O God, Nietzsche Was Right

Juggling the navy north wall: the breath of death

prophets the lost the bound O bring them bagels!

I'm black alright, but f*ck it, just forget it

Joe Campbell beat your meat balls are all that's left

high tense wires high strung falsetto beliefs my blue guitar upside yo head

Wordsworth was a poofter and so were his clouds

I kindle gestures? my bad all how you frame it and the lens

Was it Medusa or Madonna? I kinda just threw that out there (collages, right?)

out back in the territories some wild-eyed kike beats the sh*t out of let's-call-him-Ahmed, who has a stroke, that's why darkies were born
