where repurposed afterlife (mine) atomic brew
reconfigured, reconstituted, and reconsolidated
out maws of madness, no matter any blues clue

I describe, suddenly feeling scared
and tried to summon sense and sensibility 
after scrambling to stand upright

Sweeter than a cabbage you are my sweet corn

Whatever you like,
your taste we meet.

from poverty and war, 
immigrants seeking a new...
