\nhot-wiring stolen Porches,
\npissing in the baby\u2019s hair.
\nDemons screwing with the Union,
\ntheir skulls on backwards,
\ntheir talons of tin
\nand bloodied orifices.<\/p>\n
\nunder the pillows,
\nand yet we doubt them,
\nquestioning the mind,
\nmeasuring out reason.
\nDemons spinning
\ninside the furniture,
\nand still we wonder
\nover evil\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n
\nand fat greasy hands.
\nTheir septic spittle
\nand pus-fractured grins.
\nThe unbearable voicings,
\nlike honey with acid
\nor napalm on satin;
\nlike feces or molten gold
\npoured into the sores
\nof the soldier-children.<\/p>\n
\nwe\u2019re entertaining now,
\ntheir despair beyond description,
\nas beautiful as they are despicable,
\nmalevolent, and yet wholly banal
\n <\/p>\n
