When the brain fails to snap into place
The blame since falsehood began competing with popularity in the strict media circus
A specific foul repeated to paresis
The anthology of adjectives predicative and attributive
The garb of the fakir the gangster the nun the protester the geek
The declination of the words cunt ass and rag
And swallowtail those instances of bliss
Leaking spigot needs a washer and faulty gasket oil pan
Those phases of blue in the instruments in play
The only emperor is the emperor of heads-up display

Take that you puling mass of intemperance and could you please clarify your pronouns

The longer you live preemptively
Nina Symone’s impatient growl the last gasp of sincere feeling
A field of increasing tension
Or to neglect partaking of
The achieve of the mastery of
Let there be necking in the parlor
For how can set up with gravity which is patience upon approbation
Singular sensations a frank impossibility
Embraces the procession of animals implements arguments ratchets bodily systems and goals
Electrical banana ho
Ho ho
Strange brew killing what’s inside of you
A fire in the belly corroding up into the chest cavity
You’re so beautiful just come stay a while
Access to the flum
Of family and friends and joys obtrude
Despite the by-now obligatory hairshirt
Fashion that despotic harridan

The skillet the frying pan
The bucket the pail
The abstrusity the recondition

And who knows not the sharp nail of frustration
The bureaucrat’s delusion
Or the chill dread’s linger
Time’s winged chariot
Got drunk the autopilot
Give us a rouse something to hang on to
As hanging stoning the electric chair the gas chamber lethal injection firing squad and crucifixion
Stop in at one of our convenient kiosks or use the app
The ghost of a chance an anatomy of criticism
Undeniably the beauty the annoyances persist
Alongside that of the holy communion
Salutary itch indicative of healing
But no less irritating for that
Relics of a higher power now available in twelve easy payments no interest until 1954 five ninety-five to be shipped and handled
Between the germane and the material
Beyond all mere antinomies of system and lifeworld
Mire and b-b-b-b-blood
Track down the elusive impenetrable quarry
Nosferatu for the thou
For a magisterial compilation on grumpy old manhood
Vasectomy and monkey nuts
And all is bleared smeared like toilet paper
The scatalogical imperative
Kate Smith’s moon over God-blast America
The goat atop the outhouse
Redolent in the alchemist’s simplosium
A partial explanation for the recent renaissance of easel painting
Enjoying like a toddler the demolition of the carefully constructed frieze
Real housewives a metaphysical conceit
And how sad not to remember new vexations
To rust unburned not to shine with bruises
While the word penis remains completely unobjectionable
Along with its proper synonyms Dick Willy Johnson and Leopold
And here’s the sweet desire the prospect’s worry
And to delectate one’s own discomfort doesn’t hurt if it doesn’t help
And the whole congregation began singing
I’ve got the clap and the blue balls too

While old conflicts the footballs of autumn the azaleas of spring
Curds on the wing the macaroni-crowded seas
Pimps under water flowers in the sky
Season of masks and mellow frootiness
The nixie basks in the motel swimming pool
Hiya Hiya Walla Walla Liya Hiya
Nora’s freezing on the trolley
A floating chaise and a triple brown liquor
Brian May’s guitar sound amid the influx of the new
So wear your echoes and borrowings on your album sleeve
Murk up the chartered streets
If you were a master thief perhaps you’d get away with it
But the proportion of delight remains about the same
For more dies
Sunset loses its hurtful energy
Can you see me through the scrim
My pants down around my ankles
