Nada golden rule
yawning thru
The Scarlet Letter
you grokked
Nathaniel had same
name as school
but when raised hand
to ask if is true
crabby Catholic spinster
gave Jew an F-
after turned in term paper
claimed humans
evolved from chimpanzees.
Those who made
their beds must lie in them…
Often chippy
artsy fartsy boychicks
oy go batshit
if my science-y buddies
can’t explain
the differences between
Hamlet/Othello
although dudes do not give
a crap regards
what D/RNA’s exactly made of!
We all harness
our demons and-or they’ll control us:
As now chip in
am I trying to aim toward conjunctions
which are both
dramatic enough plus use grammatically
proper nouns
without being way too hasty while Gerard
Sarnat generates
very unpalatable waste products for his pals?
Subsection of "Wastrel Presents [ii]"
