Commentary

i was told by a fundimentalist Jehovah's Witness
that the octopus; in this Illustration,
is probably poisonous...

i was thinking, before this;

that it was making a friendly gesture towards the girl.

The Verbs:
Hometown Kingdom and Obtainable Snow

Were fashioned one morning,
By a wandering Water Cowboy from Colorado.

He was 20 years old at the time;
And had recently became acquainted with
Drunken Reincarnated Negroes
By way of The Cliff Protests --

[ related to flavored underwear with double stitching in the crotch ]
That were held that year in skyscrapers, by the sea.

A daisychain of trembling shoes
Came together in a borough, far away from the 'alive' footwear,
At a place called; The Muddy Crossbones.

It was a place where whispers were kept in steaming locomotives
And names had parties attached to
Their thin, frayed & tipless
Seedless Genitalia.
