Amphetamine Witches & Scrabble (Free verse) by Bachus
I begin with a six letter word for paradise
You three letter off of the 'H' a garden utensil
I, bored, glass-pipe -- Flipping through Satan books
Written by uneducated new-age-hacks
(Like about 80% of the idiots reading this -
- Currently, because of the intriguing title.)
From beer to wine to joint, no point
I have a sore throat, but still manage to
Suck down the table
Out of sheer momentum and loyalty
To the form -- I might just face first
My own dick tonight -- power yoga.
I'm writing this left handed, witch
One eye on my cocktail, the other in
Some other window, user-naming
Just another password in a long line
Of breached slang and tipped over -
- Columns of bad skin and fire.
In the end I'll win by 27 points,
33 degrees from the coldest solstice.
And after foil-flash, broken bottles, and DUI
Maybe you'll use that broom to sweep out -
- Your brain, and while you're at it, pick up
A six pack for a re-match, and a splash of cocaine
Shh...The television set is telling me some really
Interesting shit about natural disasters.
(fill in the missing line).
