Diogenes was the

first punk--an ancient

Greek stoic philosopher.

who pre-valued shock,

before it became affected.

spitting, barking, *******,

******* in public--living in

a giant cracked clay ***.

spray painting dyslexic aphorisms,

and riddling the togas of fellow

philosophers with safety pins.

**** as a dog, hard as nails--

busting in on Plato's lecture

just to topple his word-castle

with a storming remark.

by the time Alexander The Great

got to him, he was already a famous freak.

so Alexander proposed he provide him

with anything he wished.

Diogenes said something like: get the ****

out of my way, you're blocking the sun.
