Something awful happened late last night, And here I lie awake at six AM Upon the sand of Santa Monica. The cars drive by, but I don’t notice them. I used up all my gas to get away From the ****** pond on my bathroom rug. It’s more than bleach can handle and I’m scared That I’ve found a more seductive drug. Fish intestines line the pier and I Feel no misery for gutless souls. The rocks are caked in birdshit, kelp and shells And, as if in mourning, the cormorant calls. Upon the rusty handrails, seagulls gossip Just like feathered girls with brains, persisting To trumpet my depravity in savage squawks, And to harass the rest of us for existing. The white-wimpled, cruel, sadistic nuns Choose an injured sea lion as their prey. Cowardly, they flee at his sharp barks– It’s guts that will decide who wins today. ***** creep over the brown-furred body. Fighting for its life, it bites the shell And kills its fellow lifeform.  When given The chance, I’ll defend myself as well.

Feather and Fang: A Study in Humanity
Something awful happened late last night, And here I lie awake at six AM Upon the sand of Santa Monica. The cars drive by, but I don’t notice them. I used up all my gas to get away From the ****** pond on my bathroom rug. It’s more than bleach can handle and I’m scared That I’ve found a more seductive drug. Fish intestines line the pier and I Feel no misery for gutless souls. The rocks are caked in birdshit, kelp and shells And, as if in mourning, the cormorant calls. Upon the rusty handrails, seagulls gossip Just like feathered girls with brains, persisting To trumpet my depravity in savage squawks, And to harass the rest of us for existing. The white-wimpled, cruel, sadistic nuns Choose an injured sea lion as their prey. Cowardly, they flee at his sharp barks– It’s guts that will decide who wins today. ***** creep over the brown-furred body. Fighting for its life, it bites the shell And kills its fellow lifeform.  When given The chance, I’ll defend myself as well.
