Can't Write a Poem
~Antler

Can’t write a poem without marijuana in it.
Can’t write a poem without a naked boy in it.
Can’t write a poem without jacking off in it.
Can’t write a poem without a big blowjob in it.
Can’t write a poem without shit in it.
Can’t write a poem without discovering how to
counterfeit money in it.
Can’t write a poem without Auschwitz in it,
without Hiroshima in it,
without Pearl Harbor in it,
without Aztec cut-open youth-heart temple-top in it,
without Christianity’s quest to exterminate
buttfucking in it,
without Islam’s quest to exterminate analingus in it,
without Buddhism’s quest to exterminate
endless rebirth in it,
without each detail of Rwanda massacre
and rape in it.
Unable to write a haiku without an epic in it.
Unable to write a word without wilderness in it.
Incapable of writing a syllable without
the extinction of every factory on Earth in it.
Unable to put a period at the end of a sentence without
it becoming the Black Hole that swallows up the Big Bang.
