like the bishops, like the seraphs, like the bumblebee keepers.

There are red ants crawling through
my toes,
who send SOS signals back to the hill,,
and the king of it

when I capture them inside a farm to
blaze trails and
kill and
rape and
pillage and
fuck the desert sand.


and I know what it looks like
when they catch a parasite,

how if you smash one beneath your sharpie cap

they all go wild with rage.


like gangster rap villagers with
too many guns
who throw up their signs when I say
"Good day!"

and ruin my best t-shirt with medieval slang
about bloody little girls in their beds
and poppin' caps in the asses
of bitches who wouldn't
behave.



we're all going to die beneath the boot
of a business man.

    I do not know if it's for effect or something and sorry in advance, but 'seriph' is spelled seraph. (Trying to be helpful...not rude!)

    I am in LOOOOVE with this piece. Your wording is delectable and...ahhh! This is such a wonderful piece. I love the bit about the sharpie cap and the parasite. This really is a thinker! Awesome work.

    Best wishes.

      thank you so much.
      to be compared to palahniuk..
      thank you.

  • this is straight-up awesome.
    the only critique i have is that the paranthesis were distracting - i think it would have flowed better had it been removed or somehow connected with the previous or following sentence.
    otherwise? this is rad.

    wow, the opening line + ending = fantastic.
    your poems are so hardcore. :3 XD

    'when I capture them inside a farm to
    blaze trails and
    kill and
    rape and
    pillage and
    fuck the desert sand.'

    very wow.
    I also love:
    'ruin my best t-shirt with medieval slang
    about bloody little girls in their beds
    and poppin' caps in the asses
    of bitches who wouldn't
    behave.'

    even with 'gangster rap' which would normally make me giggle, this is a powerful, well written poem. great job. :]
