Charlie Chaplin's Dead
Imagine fundamental
Sepia rust and
Arms intertwining
Old-fangled
Content era
And that eye
Look! And this
Woman with
Eyes like
A baby deer!
And even the
Frill dress
With more
Integrity...the pupils
So fixed with
Some aspect love's
Bull's-eye. A different
Era when a
Girl named
Maria would
Scissor their
Gizzards to light-
House your
Faith.
Today,
We do meetings my
Name's blank and I'm blank...
And giddy as
We fuck ruin
Each other.
Troubled by toasters,
Thumb tacks, and
Quixotic digitals.
Charlie Chaplin's
Dead.
