Phineus seeks revenge for the loss of his bride
I know what we’re gonna do
today: we march on the capital
& demand access to chicken wings
& bottomless mozzarella sticks. A fool
is soon parted from his stimulus,
is soon parted from his stimulus,
& those of us glutted on the blood
of assistant managers will pull down
the plywood & take our places
in abandoned Hollywood bungalows.
in abandoned Hollywood bungalows.
I’ve never had any thing to lose,
but lose anyway. Vengeance is for
people with lawns.
Take it easy, there’s enough
Take it easy, there’s enough
hemlock for everyone--remember
to indicate “Untimely Death”
on your timecard before proceeding
to the gallows you may need to share
to the gallows you may need to share
a gallows with contingent faculty.
The fight: the death of Athis
From his pierced nipples, he had hung
an agate amulet & a pocket-
sized Purell dispenser. He crossed
the threshold, calling out for a reasonable
co-payment, but was met w/ squadrons
of unemployed classic rock DJs who demanded
that he call in to win a set of tickets
to see a SoundCloud rapper who died
in 2016. The amulet grants the ability
to speak to soccer moms. Teach me
to be cruel, like the way they tortured
you the soccer moms say & activate
active camouflage. Like they were
never there at all. You wake up
one morning & BANG
you’re on fire. Don’t go
into the light that never goes out,
go gently into that good night
club where doyennes walk coughs
in plastic.
