I lie among yellow papers, Spread out in their murdered words. Their subtle observation, wry complexity, Died in inky blood. Its stain is the headline; The picture is fine. We need more squirrels on the beach, Not those NO SWIMMING ALLOWED signs. I'm beginning to find they're right. News shouldn't be about sight. It should properly encourage and nurture, unabolished, Our American right to die angry. Have you seen the letters page? I sure love educated hate. Let's find each other -- quick, let's mate -- Let's die on TV! Wouldn't that be great? Then we could merit a second of sound, A shaky shot of us under a shroud. 11 o'clock importance is not to be denied. (i tried) God gets pretty annoying around midnight, though. It's best to shut Him off. He'll await our next prayer, Empty eye unseeing, Square inside its box. When I die, please bury me like a dead fish So someone can catch the sports page. See? I'm as human as the next guy. Let me show you my passion with road rage. |
