Shame

Someone scratched up the bonnet of my car.

How bizarre,

that someone would get pleasure from that?


They took a blade and scratched right into the paint,

slashing across, and across,

like that made them boss, I can only think.


Such little joy, one would presume.

Such little hope for humanity, for such delight,

as I day dreamed about that same blade,


slashing their throat.

I wasn’t even ashamed, of the pleasure that thought gave.

Such is life.

What is a Man

Snakes and snails

and puppy-dogs' tails.

Dust and acid and at worst

dirt.

The dry, parched fields,

a day with no rain,

sweat without yield,

beauty without refrain.


fingernails too long,

jocks on the pong,

beer and nuts,

power and guts,

perfume and butts.

Cum in a sock,

bravado we can mock

Alphas on the clock.

Betas take stock
