Long Snobs Poems

When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed

Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then...

Suffered by minority communities

Becoming too much to bare,
Everything’s been lost,
My soul was the cost.

aghast to exhale lest...lose
desperate clinging clutch
held by bloodied cracked fingernail
phantasmagoric tendrils constrict

They don't talk of collusion, or who
stole bases and worse..
To call in the Fed to play the game of Farcical Illusions,
They...

Take it away
Right now—see here…look here
Run into the light where one shadow casts an intent, lowly eye

a face like Van Gogh with both ears, though just,

Listened to what I have to say.
Wanting to be someone more
