Hard headed
And the world
Took a meat
Tenderizer to

My skull &
Meats to
Soften me.

—

When I was
a kid, I was

forced to go
to church by
my parents.

SO, I sat
& traced

geometric
patterns on
the outside
of the Bible.

I didn’t know What
propaganda was yet,

but beyond the claim
To basic human decency,
I remember sitting there
thinking, “This is Bullshit”.
