Me n me trumpet pick up a poetaser
zappim, grindlelocks! me trumpet bellows like a Hollywood barbarian
i wanna see him spasm like a muthafucka, i wanna smell him shit himself, i wanna hear him squealing all the way down, i wanna smash the cunt like a shattered taillight, i wanna his fear and humiliation coating my tongue like a fine pâté, YEAAAAAHHHH!
So I squeeeeeeze the trigger screaming taste my taser you fucking poetaster,
and the target’s eyes light up like Catherine wheels while his body
engages itself in a spot of electro-muscular disruption — WOW!
It’s a safer use of force options alright exclaims me faithful buddy
as we poke thru the smokin’ ruins of the target’s desiccated cranium,
little bones and fried-hard cartilage crunching satisfactorily beneath
our canes, what sorta dickhead thinks this is just an instrument o’ torture?
It’s stylish for certain I respond as the sky wah-wahs like a favoured ‘70s pedal,
hallucinogeneric nostalgia for those losses we’ll never know
pulsing with the arrhythmia of ancient Chronos with a dicky heart
and a low-cholesterol diet supplemented by regular medical checkups
dominating its mid-to-upper-level-regions — Ah, being a being
in time isna just Cairos nor Aion, but rage and frustration, gah!
