Marx be damned the sin is not the totality of certain systems. Christianity be damned the sin is not the killing of a God. people are just not good to each other. we are afraid we think that hatred means strength what we need is less brilliance what we need is less instruction what we need are less poets what we need are less Bukowskies what we need is more beer a typist more finches we don't think about the terror of one person aching in one place alone untouched unspoken to watering a plant being without a telephone that will never ring because there isn't one. more haters than lovers slices of doom like taffeta people are not good to each other people are not good to each other people are not good to each other and the beads swing and the clouds cloud and the dogs piss upon the roses and the killer beheads the child like taking a bite out of an ice cream cone and the ocean comes in and out in and out under the direction of a senseless moon and people are not good to each other.
