What if Manson
 
 
What if Manson had
carved a
rainbow into
his forehead instead
of a swastika?
 
Everyone knows that
rainbows are
only illusions

After mixing Nyquil with Dramamine,
she realized
there was no boat
 
she looked down
at the
sandals dirty with road grime
and thought
 
“those are my feet”
 
And she realized she was
carrying a large filthy dog
And that she was laughing
inappropriately
 
Her legs
felt like sea legs anyway
