Firecracker

every hopeful carnally bracketed thought tries to jack in to the endorphin symphony or make the mountains rise same thing your brain the one manufactured by all those dents has long been a mad scientist's laboratory you are free to run screaming into the bushes those remaining please visit our snack bar and leave evidence admissible in a court of law all rise the White Rabbit sits in judgment the laws of chance have committed murder again poor creatures bumping into one another an accident is about to occur you can set your watch hour hand minute hand second hand invisible trans cosmic seeing all hand arthritic compensating venal surgeon glove hand picked you out of the Saturday lineup nothing to stop him other than the limits of his mind and they are neon writ time bound and meme determined and once the game board is fully lit staring straight up death's gaping butt but who can blame the side show freak for wanting darkness for the rest of us and missing body parts and a bad complexion and he just skips to my Lou all the livelong day in front of his fun house mirror of adoring fans oh there goes one now sprinting for the gate it appears he's somersault vaulted the wall off the back of a licensed alligator so what is it down to six now we can conclude when your fans equal your alligators time to call in a landscaper priest
