"Don't Test Me, Pro," and "Toyi-toyis R Us"
Don’t Test Me, Pro
The outcry of
the
outrés is an
oeuvre
that has gone
on
way
too long.
To diss my abstract
object
is an
abject exception
to
the working class action lawsuit
by
the demonstrative
remonstrance
dances
of evil red, white, and blue beasts that
rule
from luxury
suites.
Sweet,
but
we’re not
going
to be
complicit in our
complaints against chemical
restraints. If you disagree,
Mr.
T
will
take a
strike
3
under a
demurring
mural in the midst of a black
panther Biden speech
purring street
theater melee wrapped
in a filigree
condom
of uprising
tide
learning
pod
challenged
children.
But I
suppose you’ll
oppose my inveighing
investigation
into Michael
Vick
via parvo
infected photobombing
bloodhound
anvils bought
from
Timothy
McVeigh and sold
to
the
grotesque
PETA
Protestant
Provos,
culminating in a
fulmination of
funky
feta cheese
fuss
from
the violent
Oval
Office,
whilst
singing peace
to
the Middle East
as
Ahmadinejad
blasts
us
in
the globalize
hope
head. If
life
gives you
lemons,
squirt ‘em in
your
third eye,
or
go
broke
being
woke.
Toyi-toyis R Us
The riot police’s armored vehicles
prevent
the apartheid suicide of
disobedient
transcendentalist
hermits
who don’t have a permit
to take up
residence
in
the midst of counter-culture
insurgents
against
capitalist
surgeons
who dissect
our alt-rights
as
we pray
to
the reformation
congregation
to ferment
revolution
while horses
piss
pollution
on
Haymarket
anarchists
against
an
international
army
of
incontinence.
May
the immaculate virgin
vigilante vigils
silently rain
on
the hash smoke
clash of motorcade
charades
while our
prayer conference
recanting
chanting
of
denouncement
men
march
to
Hobby
Lobby
to
loot
the boot camp
petition
leaflets
that fell
from
the David Lynch trees
to appease
the injection of
opium war
ships
into a
sublocade
of
sleeping
dragons
who
are trying
to have
a
romantic
candlelight
dinner of bath salted
rubber
bullets
while playing
possum and eating sacred
animals in
suffrage chambers
trying
to send
letters
to
congress
to
address
the
incarceration of
AIDS-riddled
radical
cheerleaders
that ride on
cheetahs
to a critical
mass held by St. Peter
as he
petitions
the gates of
hell’s
angels.
A
fat-shaming
maimed
Vietnam
vet who fled
to
Tehran wearing
Jesus
sandals
was snagged
in a scandal
while vandalising
the Vatican
with graffiti in
the form
of a dog-eared
treaty
that
he extracted
from
a
good
book
burning
while standing
on
a
heavyweight soap box
whilst
trying
to purge
his
sins
in
a hazmat
samizdat
zine
suit
given
to him
by a
not- in-
my-
backyard biting
rat
pack
attack bulldog
pound pulpit
racist
activist
wrapped in
a
desecrated flag
who
was trying
to get
reparations
without conscientious
taxation.
