A mad saxophone player filled the room with his insanity. My eyes got all crossed trying to keep up with the digital readout running across the clock's face like a flow of red water. I couldn't stand it anymore. That's when I noticed them. 6 9The world has secretsBehind secrets andPuppets ruled by puppetsYou think the game is sixty-nineBut you're a dog, DawgChasing his rainbow tail.Round and round you goUntil you wake too late.The catch is twenty-twoThree strikes and you're out.# HappyMy manhood rotsin the gardenof cabbage leaves.Where children once grewyellow fat dripsand splatters my thighs.My hips are big as money bagsand heavy with goldI am suffering.I am happy.#The poem Apocalypse from this book recently appeared on the blog site NEWVERSENEWS.
