Burnt Adolescence

Burnt adolescence, the smell of survivors

The satiric regime beholds.

White-gloved landlords, picking at grapefruit

By what means was this chapter told?

 

By a pigheaded guerilla lad

In a trench coat and top hat

With an ego to the distance of the sun

Alcohol is flammable

To the ones with sharpened mandibles

For myself, it was all jolly good fun
