my Little Crow

I am in the room that would be my mother’s;

If my mother lived within this house.

I am pounding with my fist the spot my little crow would rest;

If my little crow still lived.

I am singing songs to elegant beauties;

Sight after all is another curse called a gift.

Life is what we make it;

And only the living dead live forever.

Thomas Jefferson’s slaves;

They knew of Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq.

The Premier of Ontario knows of no dukes;

Only queens.

Little children speak to adults;

Adults speak to little children when the lights are turned off.

She was so evil;

And she died the victim of the perfectly good.

He spinned his story;

And his story was worth reading, if he could only read it aloud to you.

His testicles stagnated in decadent rot;

Like a pair of heroes hung.

We are all well hung;

With squinty eyes, they die falling.
