Long Tweeted Poems

Once upon an evolving time

in that over-invested and ego-inflationary direction.

Exploding pipe bombs.
Land fields that can take your arms off.
Driving off road, and frenzied, with excitement

Making a fool of himself 
In the process

Why does he do this?
Time after time
Talking nonsense
It is because

Nat, the vampire bat,
Was as cute as a bat could be-

As the elderly birch trees say
There lived a beautiful girl, in the castle of misty dreams,
