Atom Brain

Atom Brain

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

the lower left side of the pie-hole
aches due to dental interference
and the smell of death emanates
from the crawlspace under
the laundry room

he buries the bodies there
because he's a child
of the corn after all

not really, it's probably
dead bees that had
infested the space
sometime in the recent past

the smell is just vomit-inducing
just like an abortion procedure
stamped on the side
of a van

the smells and sights of life, for you

do burning ants under a
magnifying glass on
the summer solstice count?

and now for some reason,
he wants to eat boiled kitten
for lunch

he's a creature with an atom brain,
as Roky Erickson sang about years ago

and yet in reality,
he eats frozen pizza
and canned pears soaked in
high fructose corn syrup 
for lunch

slowly embalming himself
so when the cremation
event occurs,
he'll open a new hole
in the ozone layer

if there is still an
ozone layer by then

but the grand delusion
of the environmentalists
is really the grand illusion
of the John Hagee and Perry Stone
and Rod Parsley cocksuckers of the world

and of course by then,
the radiation from the
Minutemen and Peacekeepers
will have made our brains atomic

and the crawlspaces
under our homes will
be our graves, too
