Pensées of the Sucker MC

See the shining city on the hill? Most of their laws

have to do with crops

and sorcerers. City attractive

as a first responder. City good at everything

like the she-male. When the owl

had a dollar bill inside of it,

when the plague had yet to make

its way to a theodicy, I stood on the steps

of the courthouse, saying truly

that sentiment is fear. Sexual partner,

sometimes your address

is your only remains. Sexual partner,

gone to the outlying vineyards

and the cellar invisible, gone

into the whistle and the metal

of the whistle. Meanwhile, my fellows, they tie

my eyes to a rough-hewn board. They payroll

my bones and rain their curses

down upon me, as if a rain of come.

Even those born before me

shall outlive me. Even those born after me

shall exceed my consequence.

On the hill, a city, and in the city, a house.

And someday you will all be sorry

when you recall how carefully

I closed each door behind me.
