46 - 50


46. Margret Michelle never sat down with pen,
Hell-bend on making southern witnesses.
Her father was always the better author,
But her tired in his old age,
A priest unable to raise an angry fist
To his congregation.
Given the chance to make his stupid daughter
Rich, and filthier, he took it with a death mask sigh.
The Mitchell family will never go hungry again,
But they will never see Margret as a heroin.
47. Just be silent,
Let vanilla tea, warm pasties,
And your stress waft over you.
Let the owls coo, and dragons slumber.
Let your mind be calm, under an asunder sky.


48. Letterman jackets creates tension in the bustling hallways of Dutchtown.
A Civil war battle field reclaimed by the farmers from the old country,
Stolen by state government to make room for paler more patriotic children.
The history of the school stays with its students, a huge chip is latched on bony shoulders
As the students walk through metal detectors. You never know who you can’t trust.
Children are the future, but America still fear what we don’t know.


49. I wish I had the stable addiction of my father,
Half a pack and a shot of moonshine helps the sould.
I wish I had the attitude of my mother,
Arguing with a legal dwarf ends up in a Middle Earth battle royale.
I wish I had my sister’s apathy,
The world could burn around her and she would use our searing childhood home to light a cigarette.
I wish I had my brother’s drive
20 hours to Connecticut, and the give-a-fuck to get out of Georgia.




50!!!
            Is God an Atheist?
            Yahweh takes no leap
Of faith to his work.
Allah doesn’t have
To wade through dirt to know the end.
Brahma fights in
No crusade,
Commands no army,
Splinters no wood for crosses.
Odin was never said to be infallible.
God doesn’t keep the Sabbath holy.
He grew fat on his throne
On the seventh day.
God didn’t kill himself so
Other would kill in his name.
God is arrogant, manipulative, petty.
He needs to re-read Jonah.
He should hate himself.
God should be an atheist.
