a simple distillation   

Today, the sun went missing,
as the morning was growing old;
& i sniffed the scent of sea-salt
with a syphilitic nose,

& thot:

Time to wake up and smell the roses!
Spill the beans and spoil the child! O with loose lips
burning at both ends,
a stitch in time
is worth two in the bush!
And like a deer caught
counting chickens
before they hatch-

It's easy come,
Easy go,
EAT CROW!
EAT CROW!

O i feel serene
in the middle of a muddle!
O our mothers get wasted on wafers,
eating jesus with a sneeze-guard!
O peter popov saves our souls
with chernobyl holywater!
His pores ooze used motor oil!
O i boil, and i can see
with my third eye bellyfirst!

O rumination!
and moral rectum-tued!
O ruined nation!
with specters of cancer!
O rummy nation!
in wage-labor chains!
O roaming nation!
gold holds no real intoxication!

O spin the wheel
and split the profits!
The moonwalk is a hoax in aluminum's lost memories!

O odin! O dada dawn!
Revelate us! Re-evaluate us!
For i'm just another
befuddled by pi!

O cum-shots-and-scum-clots
-and-no-glots!
The devil lives on whole wheat bread!
O remember what the romans said:
'Orgies make for good digestion.'
Yes! Remember what the romans said:
'A lay a day keeps death at bay.'
O don't forget what the romans said:

"FUCK'EM ALL
'N'LET THE GODS
SORT'EM OUT."
