The Editor's Hats
The Editor’s Hats
Part 1
Executioner
I seize
the instrument of
death and with
savage strokes
and red gore
purge the
curse of banality
that is to me as
nails on a
chalkboard.
Part 2
Surgeon
I probe
painstakingly insert
the edged tip
into bloated subjects
as my tool resects
necrotic sections
to expose
lusty vitality
that warrants
display
Part 3
Bouncer
I sneer
at groveling
wannabes
as across
a velvet rope;
crazed
puppet of
the ruthless
self-preserving
status quo
Part 4
Sentry
I select
with vindictive
brutality,
only the fresh;
zealous guard
of the zeitgeist
impatiently
dictated to the
idiot masses
by the ruling elite
