Well, I rap.
by Hezekiah Allen Taylor

about the Spin Room on CNN
(it sucked me in last night again)
about the Mona Lisa
and how she smiles so very sinister
about the attack of the 508 ft. shriner
(Archie McPhee)
about the poster of Steve McQueen in my cube:
"You can't have the flesh of Wonder Woman, but
it's fine that Steve's packin' heat"

we accept violence like red wine: dry and warm and bitter
you develop a taste for it
