This poem is brought to you by the following:

Stick N' Yank
The do-it-yourself Brazilian wax kit.
Guaranteed to leave you bare down there or your money back!

Recommended only for those with high pain thresholds. Keep out of the reach of hippies.

Cosmic Wafers
Blast off any dull lifeless party with the snack chip that's the equivalent of drinking a six-pack of beer. And it's gluten-free!

Remember to snack responsibly.

My First Hornet's Nest
Forget ant farms. Your kids will have an even better time learning about these flying insects, up close and personal. They can hang it from a ceiling, a tree, or underneath a car!

For ages 10 and up. Hornets sold separately.
Inspired by fellow HP poet BLT.
Note: none of these "products" actually exist...yet.
Well...maybe Stick N' Yank.

Infected satellite

Quarantined transmissions

The gory story is one whale of a tale

Turn up the volume

And hear it flatline

Or wait for (doctored)

Film at eleven

Interestingly enough

Pale skin women

Who go Brazilian

And love to suntan in the buff

Better not fall asleep

On their backs

Or they'll be called 'hot stuff'

For all the wrong reasons

Dying is not a crime
But for playing God
I'll probably do time

Pretty little euthanasia
My disconnected phone
Always going home

That open window
To the fire escape
I am the center of a lake

The kids next door
Liked to play with me
Now we don't see them anymore

the bantering of rain
the insinuation it might snow
the mirage of moonglade
the mountain drink
the desert thirst

everything
resolves with flowers

a withered realm
a crestfallen kingdom
their copper queen withdrawing
from the bitter harvest
in the spirit of Persephone

everything
dissolves into flowers

The field's on fire

wrath
and natural selection

loose in the commons

dying to ****
killing to die

this is no dress rehearsal
no prank

the breath of life
melts

into playground psychosis

triggering
the finger of a false god

summoned in the blackness

to try and choke humanity's
guiding flame

(but on it burns)
The Columbine High School tragedy occurred on April 20, 1999, killing twelve innocent students and one brave teacher.
