abysmal, trenchant and unforgiving swallows the grace of the next generation,
one not related to the firing line but the progeny of a folk rock hero who was more in love with drink and drugs,
sin begets sin from one generation to the next,
both falling into the maws of rabid wolves,
one called substance addiction,
the other called watery grave,
head in the oven back when gas was plentiful, their paths were self-inflicted and the demises were combinations of the intentional and the unintentional,
still the tributes abound for the former and the latter as the massive attack of teardrops is carried on by the incarnation of Feliciano, Croce and Meeks,
and the tributary flows onward to the old man, unstoppable, merciless, the fourth element intentionally left out of that one band's name,
the grace was just another victim among many, now a member of the dead by drowning club

Kenneth The Poet is an optimist wrapped in the candy shell of moroseness and cynicism. He lives between the two parallels marked 46 and 49, all while living in the state marked 39. He pretends that he.. more..
