WARNIVAL (For Donny Rotten)

Kane X. Faucher

Of course I take responsibility;

I am the secretary of

Write it

            Down.

Speak it up, speak it out.

An agent of moral and intellectual confusion

            Media

Reports and writes

With a sniper’s ethix.

Boom boom bomb in boom bomb ba

Burst, burst air pocket air.

Earth deep penetrator

            Nuclear pederast, you.

A necklace of missile of fissile and thistle

            And tree flocking.

And f you we speak tied up, tied up to write it

            Down.

            Down.

(Ring o’ fire, fat boy and little boy and)

            Down.

Stock & Pile

Pit & Campaign

Trench, Tried, and True.

A high frequency material for a tube, soar.

A MIRV for a marvel, a broken bread for a sanctionable

            Song.

And ding dong ding dong, boom ba boom bomb ba,

Of course responsible,

Sing it

            Down.
