Etiquette & Vitriol
For Nicky Silver
You’ve never met a normal person.
But I have. And I’ve learned my lesson:
people with manners made me who I’m not.

shit in your own mouth
please. Guess what this is:
{(;)}
LOL ROFL IYKYK BTW
do you know how long
I’ve loved you? Never

Épater la bourgeoisie
or—less like a bundle of sticks—
evil shall with evil be
expropriated. You said once
David Foster Wallace’s footnotes
were like him shitting into his own
{(;)} but do not to mention that to anyone because
it’s too highbrow which is above

shit into. And BTW, do you, yes,
you know how much I love you?
I tried to pray yesterday
but couldn’t. Oh
well that ends well.
I’m well; how are you?
Hi well, I’m dad.
Hi dad, fuck you.
Well, this needs to end somehow.
Nohow. Yeshow. Somehow. Hey,
while I got you for a second,
guess how much I love you.
Until then, goodnight sweet
cocksucker*.
*Insert footnote about how cocksucker actually means {(;)}, lol 😉
