my implicit bias comes

from the bitter Beatnik narratives;

the 60’s, the thin legs

of hippie hallucinogens

 

teach me how to read

and then pour battery acid

into my eyes-

lick the wounds after and make sure

to bandage them up as you go

 

i am not missing out, although

i am special now

 

rub my nose in the dirt,

for my senses have no

nerve-endings
