smoking will kill you.
tattoos are ugly.
religion breeds hate.
something wants
to stay alive, or
to become alive.
rabbits are afraid
of plastic sprinklers
from China.
storms an hour
after dark tomorrow.
ceral shakes in bowl.
wake the drowsy
adolescents from
suffering.
at least the living
always try to eat.
faith makes hunger.

The Dimwitted Child
It all begins with that first intuit; hitherto every other thought is an intuitional thought, an intuit, a thought thinking a thinking thought, a thought thinking thoughts about thinking sum ego summa. Its as simple as that, really. Just now, this very second, I was thinking a thought thinking I was thinking a thought thinking a thought that in the end was really a thoughtless thought thought thinking a thought thinking a thought, Mable von Clout. Now Ms. Mable von Clout thinks thinking thoughts thought about not thinking are puerile, facile at best. In the end, yes the end, thinking thoughts about thinking, ergo sum mus ogre, are thoughts thought thoughtlessly and with little regard for proper rules of grammar and thinking, and as such not worth the bother of thinking, or intuiting, at all. It seems logical, tautological at best, that I am fucked, twice.
- Now a Short Puerile Interlude -
Cupcakes and jiggery piggy-wiggly said the harridan, knees cupped into the folds of her skirt, the sky a monger’s blood-apron, feet plaited into arthritic briar-wood, wood. If only I had a copper to buy a quid of Quaker’s-chew, brown biscuit and a jawful of brown stench, such a sumptuous delicacy. Her great, great grandmamma married a Quaker, a stodgy man with iron gray hair and a palp lip that curled round the chisel of his teeth like a millipede. He sold tinker’s castoffs and snuff and wore burlap trousers with a belt knotted to one side like a tract of intestine. Her great, great grandmamma told her that her great, great granddad like mouton-bird stew with onions and fennel, and wedges of farmer’s cheese ripened in Port barrels that he ate with a wooden spoon and a silver knife. She said that he wouldn’t allow two sliver things to touch, as it was a slight to God, or the sun in through the bedroom window until he’d said his morning prayers. The dimwitted child that she was, she asked her great, great grandmamma if they ate Quaker’s Oats for breakfast, to which her great, great grandmamma replied, sternly, her apron corseted round the wade of her hips, my child, this world is not what it appears to be, so stop asking stupid questions.

The Great Nietzschean Tightrope Walker
A Portobello blue sky, a blue chattel dress blue sky blue. A sharecropper’s yellow moon; this substantial form; goodness me, so this is what has become of me, corruptibility, incorruptibility, a sharecropper’s oxen scythe taking me off just above the knee. A spoiled milk sky, a creamery of blue-steel, pox-clouds sullying a plainness of sky, whey separated from curd; lactose bigoted. No; a bowery sky, scullery with grime and sludge, a mire of brown-sky, a stain of sky; a debasement. Skeletal trees tonsured with pre-solstice fretting, branches at arms-length, a crapulence of rot and wither. Today I will purchase draperies for my bedroom window. And these nasty polemarks: [and] jammy tarts, the ones great aunt Alma made in the summer kitchen, crimping pastry into taffeta frills, and my great uncle Jim standing on the front porch, his good eye threaded with sweat, waving at tourist’s cars, and my dad eating date squares and rarebits of toast, and me, sitting on the back stoop counting to one hundred backwards, making daisy chains with whistle grass and nettle fens, the afternoon fading into August night.
Please, I abjure you, repress and re-censor this Grammatik infanticide, for he knows not of what he speaks, and, might he/I add, Holden Caulfield was a crummy bastard, I/he much prefer Ackley, the great Nietzschean tightrope walker, imbiber of cocktails and gimlets. Cigarette paper leaves stained nicotine brown, yellow, the advent of death and wither. In decay and perish, such life and advent, an august autumn, the time of fester and blain.
