an untitled christmas
an untitled christmas
there was war, 1
so you know what christmas this was. 2
i’d like to unleash you upon the world– 3
look at the failings 4
of the great men 5
you admire, 6
they will be yours 7
but the greatness will not be. 8
i’d like to unleash you upon the world. 9
revelations when the world will break down into 10
simpler blocks 11
and life will finally force a sympathetic simplification in literature 12
genre by genre until it is all symmetric, 13
bare clawed and pushing singles. 14
i see the angels every day, 15
they speak in tongues you ask to just turn it down, okay? 16
they show pictures without eyes 17
and you smell things you can’t identify, 18
smells that aren't really bad but make 19
you afraid to breathe all the same. 20
to unleash you upon the world 21
there are things you have learn; 22
you’re only dangerous now, 23
you need to be fatal 24
if this is to have significance. 25
i have no gift fit for a king 26
because no king fit my gift. 27
i’m expatriating next year, 28
let me know if you need a lift. 29
i have a present for you right now though: contempt– 30
without the strength to let it go 31
or the information to be sure where to direct it. 32
