renaissance man
born into privilege
he was troubled by poverty
a million dollars can feed
ten million minds
with absurdity & grace
this is a fishing pole & this is
how you set the bait
they set the pharmacy on fire
but nobody seemed to care
withdrawals & deposits
blood bank & sperm bank & local
community bank
saint cecilia loves to sing
sex & violence & rock-n-roll
this virus is a bitch
keeps a man up at night
rethinking his own demise
february two thousand twenty-one
