High Fashioned Genocide

by Adam Gaucher - Sagittarius

The sorry man squeezes out his
semen in secrecy like one would
a tube of toothpaste while the
rest of the world is doing it on
television for $19.95.  It is breakfast
time for the little ones.

Hecuba is giving birth to a musician
who is playing the cello with Curly
Stooge's head as Jackie Gleason
plays billiards with the photograph
of a half eaten jellyfish.  These
situations present themselves often
with every mind's awakening.
(Usually not however, so vivid until
one needs exaggerate, or is at
least presented a financial gain).

But let's get serious for a moment.
There are some people on this Earth
who are put here to chisel hair
off from the statues of men who
have since gone bald.  (I'm only
here in charge of closing their eyes
when they've died).  Other members
of society enjoy providing pedicures
with their teeth.  The dead cuticles
are then used to sweeten the tea.

A lone and sad girl sits in her
vegetable bedroom and looks over
to imagine the clocks counting down
with a world caught in a most classic
Mexican standoff.  All she wants to
do is love poetic fresh air and to
win stuffed animals.  Maybe she'd
even like an organic life, and some
plush fabrics while dreaming with
someone tangible to tuck in beside her.
However, all these things are prohibited
by millions of votes collected by men
who can't even count as high.

The politicians who'd as soon shit
on a plate to feed their children
wear nice guy disguises to be the
first man on Mars.  However,
the trick is that they don't even find
it necessary to actually travel there,
for they can simply fabricate their
own lifeless planet right here
on Earth.  Then of course
there's my view point.  They'll
have to turn the world into a
vast dessert anyway for the cows
that'll be chopped over and frozen
then placed in everybody's microwaver
so that we can be numb and strong
enough to push the shiny red
buttons in case the chain reaction
doesn't go according to plan.

Fear the sculptors and forlorn girls;
we know how to utilize a sales pitch:
You're killing our freedom, money back
guarantee, and there's no interest until
the second coming.  Oh, and lots of
dancing sex too, (dripping with gold).

You'll find yourself asking,
"Where does one go from here,
I'd seen a dead man while
walking home tonight."
But it was only you and I again,
so it makes no difference to
us.  We lie severed at a table set
for two bleeding and waiting for
refills every day while another
cello's broken string leads always
to someone's body burning eventually.
I think we should be content in this
being buried alive underneath the
high fashioned genocide. There is
plenty going around, to get around.
