thorns burst contradiction piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

They're my favorite show about nothing;
my jolt of funny,
my cup of insane
They're my telly four friends,
who are the nuttiest
A distinct comedic blend
of vaudeville vamped sluttiness

Insane of...

Though I wore quite fancy shoes, there were no socks upon my feet,

when you were very young.
And who knew the circumstances...

Every hierarchy exists
dependent upon those below to support it.
Can it be any different with the gods,
when some are greater and some are less?

We all are gods and isn’t that the point

but like the lone tragedian 
with his oft repeated dramatic scripts

Awake to the celestial sea chant

Starry-eyed dark matter
of infinite space
Espied by countless eons

Became cognizant of her/

Closer to Earth charting
early skywatchers to notice moon face
Held...

vaudeville stepped off the stage
and leapt into the living room
