Litany of Lethargy and Glee  

Ding, dong
     The pristine is dead 
Indeed 
     We believed in beauty 
Under the influence of seaside DMT 
     We pleaded with the Pleiades  
and Nietzsche
     Singing Peace Be to the Bourgeoisie 
ADHD and a peanut allergy 
     upon our eternal return 
Augury in salt-seasoned leeches 
     VIP Ouija boards
Anthropocene elegies 
     In Zombiocene teenzines 
Manspleened peaplant pedagogies 
     The study of the horsie’s doohickey 
to determine what breed she be 
     Beergoggle bestiality 
Greedy andouille sausage fingers 
     picking the bookie’s boogies 
Sublingual glands gleeking out 
     a meager living 
Deemed by some deity
     crash test dummy for The American Dream
The Old Me, The New Me, The Real Me 
     American Memes
Weenie-winking heat-seeking ecofreaks 
     Techies and Trekkies and Taki-teasers 
 Sheeple surely
     G-men in G-strings and pasties eating pastries 
The Easter Bunny screeching carpe misdemeanor 
     in each elongated ear 
Pussy-eating near-death experiences 
     Eons of premature ejaculate 
Buggery and skulduggery 
     The ETA of the EMT irrevocable 
Dopamine to be distributed directly 
      by eager beavers 
licking at the leakage from diarrhea diaries.
