Tzar Bomba’s Lonesome Crater

That lonesome crater

 

can never be filled

 

with anything but

 

settling dust.

 

 

I let my orbit speak for me

 

in a complex elliptical pace

 

always alternating closer

 

and then farther away.

 

 

No one ever goes out there

 

and that’s exactly why

 

the bombs are tested where

 

empty golden sand and white snow

 

can be painted by the incandescent

 

glow of a quadrillion campfires

 

and antiseptic Christian innocence

 

won’t sphincter-pinch the

 

fusion out of my audience

 

with its extra organs

 

providing their intoxicating vitamins.

 

 

How I don’t need lubricant!

 

I need hubris-can’t!

 

I need lubri – can!

 

 

How I don’t need wine!?!

 

I need wherene!?!

 

I need howne!?!

 

 

I am tired of ******* the last leg of this race.

 

I want to exchange my passioff for something…
