Pamphlet

2009

 

"The triple stack museum plant of
Evil and bad thoughts spews its particulate and nonsense
In the form of an enormous white ghost,
But fills our houses with artificial light;
Evidence of this towns bad seeds."

What stupid "green" pamphlets to read.
I pass by on foot tossing the rhetoric aside and find
Solace in the power of the plants
Cold and dirty cinder blocks;

After all I'm just another user.

 

I'm quite impressed with their size,

The three of them erect--even jealous;
Penetrating the sky as they were.

 

I open my wallet and stare at my girlfriend Cindy and imagine,

What if I could do so much destruction with a

Hand held doppelganger; a fat barrel of my own.

 

I could dominate the west and tame a pussy

Cat all at once.

 I'm a chosen one after all,--"divine right".

 

Bad seeds or just different seeds,

I don't care about skies or seas,

Just recognition and the plasticity of my whims;

 

Go with the flow,

Don't tell me how to get there or why;

This is America-- this is my sky.
