behind charcoal framed prisons—

With plastic chicks and eggs upon it,
She looked a beauty in her bonnet,
And so I wrote an Easter sonnet.

Waste of a Man

Decoded fatal suicide

Of a plastic man

Stuck in a can

Copeasettic and domestic

Daily journal is hectic

Deliberate lie, now hide

They're madmen's pawns who shirk the task

Forever making mice of men
