Over that time I've had problems with my car battery due to never driving anywhere. So I wrote this:
random street tour
any destination
battery recharged

it so, that

that loose bag of flesh and bones
before it escapes
from the bed
you made for it
and it runs from your
over-affectionate lust
such a rigid thing
lust
stringent ropes and bonds
strident screams in
the empty room
soundproof and hot
white and cold
a butcher’s palace
tiles and mirrors and glaze
blood runs hot
over the stainless
steel so shiny
until you both
collapsed
in your big deaths

The terrifying beast yawns
Razor sharp teeth and claws
That can tear and rend
But sits still in the moment
Curled up in my lap

I lost a free and fair election
And organized an insurrection,
Demanding what I’d been denied.
The senators each cast aside
Support, as arguments presented
A plot not quite unprecedented
Nor really even all that shocking…
But Cicero would not stop talking.

A miracle that I’m alive…
For I was there in forty-five
With the joint Amphibious Corps.
The bloodiest battle of the war,
We fought as boldly as we could,
And lost our friends. But I withstood
The rain of steel on land and sea:
I’ve still got shrapnel in my knee.

Behind the veil we pull the strings,
With secret handshakes, signet rings,
And ancient ritual initiation.
The governments of every nation
Have members in their highest ranks.
We own the land, control the banks,
And you can see our influence still
In symbols on the Dollar Bill.
