Poem
hi I'm Baxter Belknap Mandible IV
the Ninth Earl of Burneydick
I'll be heading your inner assault team
would you like the wine list
we have a nice Retaliation 666
somewhere over the rainbow
where every two-bit overheard whisper is an omen
and other vile statistical deceptions
where the big wheel spins like a drawbridge ratchet
but it never stops too many numbers 
and the future continues to remain hypothetical
in degrees depending on the reading
an experiment in capitulation and submission
it was the War of the Parasites
but when has it been otherwise
this is a mathematical demonstration
bold as a distillery padlock
that insanity is the flip side 
of merely more insanity
that would be Mandible IV driving 
his dream hearse down memory lane
smoke from burning bodies 
badly needing a wick adjustment
apparently fogged his lens
the horrors of the world are entertainment 
weather permitting we'll visit the ruins
and insist upon representation 
in the government Pilgrim Travel Advisory 
you see the difficulty
serenity having been proven
a monstrous violation of reality
pause
every idea is a unit of measure
another pause
the pixels swirled and another
unholy vision drifted past in the tide
riveted to my screen 
and it's trauma etched engrams 
picked up on my middle finger antenna 
in the last act you find out why
good bad and maybe mostly maybe
just trying to be more numerological
be certain of your conclusions
or call them something else
sure people's faces can be read
most are possessed by a mad hunger
or acts of cosmetic genius
proving it's more than brain chemistry
they told me that self-creation has its dangers 
lots of mockery out there in hammer land 
but there's no mocking your best efforts
kept them off my back for a while 
set free for the propaganda value 
and still always curious
