i had every intention
\nto stop scribbling
\noh but these hands
\nthey don’t listen
\nor why one before me
\nwalked the streets
\nwriting so fast it could not be read
\none sheet after another then
\ntossing it over her shoulder<\/p>\n
immigration
\nthey always pull out a patsy Jos\u00e8
\n(sometimes Maria)
\nRick Parry the executor
\ngets applause
\nI hate cancer
\nvote
\nteabag or killer
\ntiger o balm
\ntiger tea
\ntea killer
\nhow do you spell GOP?
\nWhat do you get
\nwhen you fall in love
\nwith money
\nand power
\nor the final hour?
\nshame
\nnightmare in the daylight<\/p>\n
don’t talk\/don’t touch
\ncontagion
\ncoming to your local theatre<\/p>\n
how do you spell heaven without a home
\nhow do you watch the sun go down
\nand not know you might not see another<\/p>\n
you are i and grass is green
\ndon’t bother to write
\nwe both in jail
\njail with no walls for human kind
\nnow and then visits do us good
\nthere is joy in Mudville
\nhallelujah
\nyahoo
\nwoopie
\nwoot
