Justified Twitch
I made my mind
down by the river
of euphemism, most
playful species of meta
-phor. The river ran
me round fora for a few
years, pebbled my perma
-stonedness, taught me
to speak with rocks
-tarred, defeated eyes
minus groupies and the hard
stuff. You don’t get it
-chy, don’t get soma
-tically clipped waves when yr voice
boxing with the gauze man. Imp
-ossible to chip and too
-the away the ossificat
-ions of constitutional cons
-iderations: yr gonna need a big
-gots taste nd a narc
-issistic diet of hate for
-matted by expert wit
-ticists in the employ of demons
-trated partisans, arti
-sins of dis
-dain.
