To see, of the twenty odd dead, the one I'd myself made--hadn't I
for my part, you'd say, well done it, too as being evil as you?--
means not to see it, at all Thank you for that, sir
Now I'll give you, the deep stare, onyx-eyed, of the mother
ghoulish botox lip bodycolour best not seen smudged on walls,
Billy & Pat, dead both, and abscesses tending to the heart:--
if it's not too impertinent to, say, feel the tyke shatter (or be cupped
in a teacher's smile!), and the viscous prayers ever after, paraded
on stage ever after (as if it's this they do the shootings for)
You well-meaning old Adam, you and thanx for the boyishness
in us all and making me see, and the buoyant barbarism in us
all, making smiling onyx-eyed demons tolerable even to me
A tip of the fedora to you, good sir
