Hallmarks of Humanity
Hammered shut
hammered down
slam-dunked
& eviscerated
flash-flood
exonerated
griddle cakes
of delusion.
Dreary nuns
of chastisement
witch hunts &
cross burnings
the great
surge of
stupidity
the coarse
face of
coarse certainty.
Tattered dreams
in a
cosmic wind
burnt to
crisps
in a
sun flare.
Nobility is
not the
hallmark of
humanity
nor is
beauty.
They’re the
hallmarks of
wayward angels
who were
never meant
to be
born here.
I refuse
to put
my name
to the
document.
