November


it is my fault i swear
god will put golden leeches in my birkenstocks

it is my fault i swear
the winter wind is stern queer and dead

it is my fault i swear
it was the warden's word nevermore

it is my fault i swear
kathy acker's leering glance

it is my fault i swear
the year that ends laughs last

it is my fault i swear
is night dark bartender

it is my fault i swear
it is fernwood tonight dumb worker

it is my fault i swear
it was the word's word: unger

it is my fault i swear
the call of the wild is guy fawkes day

it is my fault i swear
another heineken and bugs shlottender

it is my fault i swear
it is rae armantrouts fault bitetender

it is my fault i swear
toast for every wall tiger

it is my fault i swear
toasts for every hair over a hundred
