Kurt Vonnegut is Dead

 

 

I don’t give a shit anymore about anything –

And I think I’m right – I believe everyone

should give up giving a shit, just lay down

before the practicalities of politics, and let

those who seem more concerned to do

whatever it is they do – charged – make life run.

 

This is not giving-up, nor in, hope remains –

I imagine shit pouring down on those who’ve

deemed themselves in control – because,

to tell the truth, there is no control –

just a fermented exchange between witnesses.

 

When at last I remove the gauze from

all injuries of this, there’re gaping mauve holes.

 

Floating Man will gladly patch them for a few bucks
