The Burn Notice

I am anti-matter.

 

Trending on Twitter.

 

Shooting a guest-spot on Two-and-a-Half Men.

 

 

A five-dollar foot-long

meal-deal of a man,

 

long on propaganda

  while short on substance;

 

 

A School-House Rock rendition of

Aspiration Asphyxiation

 

penning love-letters to Jesus

     beneath my breath

to abate the sensation that I'm just

     redundant protoplasm

with a pecker and a pocketbook

 

 

 

   failing to distract myself from the fact that

every intake of breath is a death sentence.

 

 

I have no praise-worthy abilities.

You can't **** your way into heaven.

 

 

   Satan himself

caught a better break being

cast out of the kingdom--

 

there is certainty in condemnation.

 

 

Those poor souls who harbor

    the illusion of indemnity

through faith in a

        purportedly magical Jew

truly are the blessed few

 

not via the Lord's redemption, mind you,

but by the thoughtlessness of their devotion.

 

Perhaps the two are tantamount to one another.

 

 

The ****** are so labeled

     because we question ceaselessly--

curiosity is no comfort.

 

 

Should the sun burn black,

     the world will go cold

or

      some star-burst might

   scorch our galaxy clean

of all delusions of eternity.

 

 

The meek can inherit the ashes.
