this is the worst poem ever written
no debate
no college
no *** or love or hard drugs

i haven't been reading
curriculum
scotch and water please

just roll out the list
put it on my tab
make me pay for my feelings

yeah yeah yeah
what goes up must come down
what goes in must come out
god is my devil
devil is my god
sometimes you can see it everywhere
if you blink you'll miss it

or spend it on beer after the game
how are you dearest?
what is my fate?
i see smiles
hear the desperate whimpering
of a dying human race

do nothing
let the evils of this world flow up and over you
onto the internet
like a sandy low-tide wave
over a beached whale
over shells
over dead jellyfish
cigarette buts
broken hearts
and discarded underwear

i pick one up
hold it to the light
an amateur x-ray
will you do me this one favor?
just one
my word
