holy roe v. wade

would someone please send up the

bat signal for me?   people all around

me  entrenched in their  tics   one even

asked me to re-phrase an observation

as a question   so i did

why are u so full of fuckery?

the answer is blowing  and the winds in

canada can be fierce   in may they rip thru

machinations like shit thru a canada goose

i need the bat signal most urgently  so that

the caped crusader  a christfigure if there ever

was one  might rescue me from contraryfuckery

__

but much more seriously  the women of alabama

need more than jesus right now

the vote is in   no abortions  even in cases of rape + incest

so please do send up the batsignal for them too

*if passed the new law would make performing an abortion

a felony  punishable by 10-99 years in prison  which is more

than the penalty for rape

how’s that for fuckery?

i’ve got to pull a lazarus and i can’t even shine my shoes

a day of glaucoma testing  now pretty testy  saw more

blindfolks than i can ever remember seeing   and

seeing is not overrated   talking is   talk a thing to

death   and it will die

like 11:11

talked it up recently  all spiritual newagey   and now i

see only  11:08  and u know u cannot wait for the universe

to give u 1’s   it will only give u chilblains  where u sit   w-a-i-t-i-n-g

and waiting is for godot worshippers  and i am all  heathen  

• a follower of a polytheistic religion; a pagan   i need to pull

a lady lazarus  but first

come poet    

shut up

__

my typewriter is

tombstone

still.

and i am

reduced to bird

watching.

just thought i’d

let you

know,

fucker.
