Why Holy Cross?

The answer to your question

About her decision is held

Among the three young skaters

A Vishnu

A Valkyrie

A Ganesh

Hopped off the bus

Whap whap whap

Like they were late to the coup

Her first serious boyfriend

That’s a big deal

Leads and speaks all languages

You know what I mean

Ephebic

Byzantine

And Holy Cross is like

Maybe she likes

Smaller schools.

Getting Back to Stardom

I know I speak for many when I say 

Yeah, life can be “a demoralized torpor”

It can be a sample platform

Or it can be shucked to order

Or it can be a thriller with chilling implications

Or it can transform your very heart x200.

An app, a hash tab, and a quad cold brew espresso

Style so ill

Rocking marquee slots

Season One’s Augie

Bee of Season Two

Bee as in billions

Billions with a Z.

Next question.

Middle Evil Religious Fanatics

In a land far, far from genders,

In a time without pronouns,

Monks, besides the devil feared

Quietism, like unto fine marzipan,

The spread of marginality,

Spikes in social engagement,

Young angst manifestatti,

Revenge ideators,

Capablanca’s endgame.

“With hatefullest disrelish writhed their jaws”

Didst the selfsame monks, like unto

Multipurpose durable scouring sponges against

Glutamates,

Pilates,

Prerolls, eighths, and more,

Splash pages,

Extended wheel bases,

GPS, NATO, the Dow.

Since Silent Spring Got Even Quieter

No ringtone, no vibe, no ding

Anyone can have a bobblehead night

Any day of the week

And the OG is right here in the USA

And tell me that isn’t Karl Marx

Viewing clips of sleeper hits

In the computer lab.

That’s why I was like telling your dad

There are two stairways to the stars

I took the one most tagged

And that has made all the difference.

It wasn’t nothing, but he hasn’t replied.

OK So It Now Appears

And like I said I mean

For active everyday comfort

I did practically a half ironman before

The avo toast got me higher than a kite

Due to what I buttered it with

Coffee is Italian roast.

November is not really a good time 

For delivery people on skateboards

But I can be armed to the teeth whilst

Checking my sugar

Using harpists’ fingers 

With no strings attached.

Only heavy equipment rests on Sunday

Meet your maker, make your mark

Eucharistic adoration is back

I am but momentarily chill though

Genuflecting to find an outlet 

Is the most genuflecting I do.

I had a deja-vu moment

I texted el presidente 

I demanded extra tofu

Security was summoned

I was arrested for planning my own euthanasia

And spirited to Algiers.
