Edward G Robinson Jr. (class warfare)

My greatest fear is my parents dying

if I only had to make it 3 years 

return to can smoking cigarette, drinking gin 

massive coronary, like Elvis. But Elvis is still alive

elvis, rod steiger, princess diana 

she's not a princess yet

just like any other bimbo at the marina

swat birds with tacking sails 

tie sides of beef under polo horse saddle

 

after security is assured all thats left is play

passing through the cold landscape of existing 

emotional density is spread thin for vast distances

then these bright burning bodies emerge

warp the space around them, drag and ripple, distort and explode

you can tilt the axis of the earth by crying every night for 11 days

to make it easier to fall asleep 

to appreciate the wrenching of emotional mass

why should I feel anything 

to stay moving and keep fed

to rear up tiny sperms into battle hardened cyborgs
