Alas, poor Yorick absent thee from fellatio awhile (I joke, get to it!)

The beautiful life O, thanks for the mammaries

SONNET #12: When the Bell Drools, Ring Them Bells

There will be magic so long as there are metaphors

Socrates said: f*ck Democracy and downed El Cid

Every effort mustard maid support the tropes

there's no longer any such thing as crime

it's all asymmetry you'll be droned if you rhyme

the minotaur, found with a clue, weeps in his empty cubicle

wave particle duality cruel schizophrenic shards

drool (Simon says) Julian's encrypted smile

it'll all be over soon the Bradley Manning trial

slackjawed jackdaws smoking cubist cigars (Bells!)

Dem never love, never love poor Marcus (till dem betray 'im)
