hunter thompson

by joel abel - Taurus

when i heard he was dead
i wanted to do something
crazy.

something that would take
me to a state of near death
and leave a trail of
hiddeous consequences,

a drug fueled binge into
the heart of corporate
homogeny, maybe,

or maybe, traipsing thru
congress with a liquid
lsd fog machine.

instead i went to the bar
and realized:

the only one left 
who would do that
is newly dead.
