so I see
you can buy a human rib for $8 on amazon,



it kind of appealed to me for a day,
then I realized that it's likely some poor farmer from ecquador
who died
at 36
from complications from his untreated polio.


where's the edge in that?

just picking on the weak,

picking from the weak--



it'll never
be a heart of Queen Elizabeth,

or the tongue of an African Warlord--


always the losers,
left to lose more,


expected to give more,

expected to be happy about it.


I'm happy about
this

silence right now
