A drunk guy goes to the
restroom to piss, and after he
is done, for no reason, he
counts his money, drops a
dollar in the piss, and says,
"I'm not putting my hand in
piss for one dollar." Then he
gets a $50 bill, throws it in
the piss, and says, "But I'll
do it for $51."

ence between a dis-
aster and a tragedy?

Slam It
Slam it, slam it up against the wall,
Slam it down hard
onto handrails
and slide,
clackclackclack through
greased cement funnels.
Zip down
then zip up,
balance on the lip
with one finger,
Twist. Flip. Scream. Cripple
those old wooden benches.
in the park,
Sneer. Spit. Take no shit
from crewcut army pigs
who want all the asphalt
for themselves, so what?
If those redfaced beefs
beat the crap out of you
Say: Man
this is your very best thing but
I'm a tattooed whirlybird shot
upside down
down marble staircases
whiz through Summer, Winter
Spring and Fall showing the
crack of my ass
and kissing smoke rings
into the bellowing sweaty face of
Slow death.
