balefire
for the non-aquatic apes
sleepwalk macarena becomes the law
war crimes on the road to Mandalay
in my bloodstream ninety-nine Black Ops

who knew Rumpelstiltskin played for keeps
castle made of dried lamb vindaloo
waxwork effigy of Annabel Lee
beckons while the candle flame regroups

and Sxwaixwe wages quartz eclipse


The Ballad of Fannie and Freddie.


Sladek on Disch.
