screw you

screw you

they'll try to burn your bridge
send you out in a leaky boat
throw you a bone that has no marow

screw you i say

nitzche had it right
what tries to kill me just makes me more ornery and willfull
and strong

i'm a phoenix shaking the ashes from my wings
i'm a cockroach that won't be checking into any motels
a canary in a coal mine that has escaped into the hills of west virginia

The hills of West Virginina, a nice place to be. Sounds like life amongst power hungry control freaks. Nice write.

Short, sweet, and really nice ...

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
