The sea is roiling
A Western wind is blowing
Shorebound
Ready to depart
Heave anchors ho
Whales lurk below
From crows nest, a crowing
A lust for blood is growing -
Fear
Brack and brine run red
Crimson king in court on high
All gods die in this river
Midnight ritual she scries
Lotus leaf & rose hip
Crush skull
Halberd swing
No funerals at sea
ROLL
DIE
DIE
ROLL
FAIL
BLEAK RUIN
Demon Begone
I don’t visit your back hollars
Demon Begone
Don’t come to my town
I’ll smoke you out of my town
Out of this land
BEGONE!
I don’t know if you're familiar with the Cursed Sea
Its name should tell you everything
(It’s called the cursed sea)
I don't know but I've been told
The coin of realm is mostly gold
The Chest of Fate is said to be
Guarded by ninety-seven Trolls
It is said, but no one knows
The only one to raid it was a Rogue
ROGUE
TROLL
GOLD
Crush Skull
Smashing Vertebrae
Open the Chest of Fate
Death Roll
Saving Throw
You will die
On this hill
Burn the barn
Free the horses
Drown the priests
No funeral
At eclipse
Dark Noon
Blood flows to the sea
ROLL
DIE
DIE
ROLL
FAIL
BLEAK RUIN

I never crawled
When I was small
I never called
When I was wanting
Ball fire
Don’t tell me that I can’t
Don’t tell me that I can’t spell
I will burn you until
Don’t tell me that I can’t spell
I will burn you until…
Archers!
Fire!
Free! (Flame)
Flee! (Flame)
I never crawled
When I was small
I never called
When I wanted
Spell spell I can spell
Missile magic
Spell spell I can spell
W I S H
I can spell
WISH
But I can’t cast my
Last
Last
Last
Wish
All is lost
Thunder lightning
The wall fell
The last wall fell
You never told me if I mattered
You never told me if you cared
I tried, I flattered
You never said
We are vanquished
Lost in a sea of blood and bodies
Blood and bodies
Arc of light from an angel
An angel of god or
Light
And cold
Dreams desire
Desire
Never
Desire
Never
Ending
Never

Don’t make it clever
It’ll all turn out

Stitch Witch

Workers of bobbins, needles, and threads
Heed the call!
Threading lines together
Unites us all
(We stand tall!)
STITCH WITCH
(Stitchers, we end billionaires)
Every half finished dress
Form plans around
Whisper plans assessed
to overthrow
Stitch Witches
Cornered & desperate
Sewed the last thread in the
Summoning tapestry, and the
Loom Lich
Manifested
Incinerated
The factory thugs and the
Sweatshop burned…
As the armed thugs hired by the sweatshop bosses
Chased the desperate workers into the last room
The resolute women sewed the last stitch
In the summoning circle to summon the Loom Lich
And with a shriek of undead justice
a ring of multicolored fire
Rose up to consume the oppressors
Of the downtrodden mill workers
Sweatshops Burn Tonight
Stitch Witches
Cornered & desperate
Sewed the last thread in the
Summoning tapestry, and the
Loom Lich
Manifested
Incinerated
The factory thugs and the
Sweatshop burned…

Peculiar
All the important men
Think you’re...
Cool?
Peculiar
Black and white photography proves it
Hideous Progeny
Siblings of Banshees
(Mary Shelley)
Born to a body
That never fit me
Fire reign
Change me
Trans
Transform
Become me
(Ch Ch Ch Change)
Hideous Progeny
Children of Banshees
(Mary Shelley)
Become who I have always
Meant to be
Guardrails direction
(I am small)
Discover your new pre-occupation
(Hopeless and alone)
Following me
(I am not)
Dividing lines
Dividing time
Dividing a body that never fit me
(Human from what they tell me)
I. Am. Hideous
Pro… pro… progeny

Gatekeeper
05:34
|

Gatekeeper’s got problems
Mill working women unionizing
Wanting to play “his” game
Be in “his” hobby shop
Gotta find a solution
Sexual harassment might do
A call to their boss about their
Congregating
GATEKEEPER
Isn’t it odd that you claim to like women
Yet you don’t treat them with respect
Or regard them as human?
Feminism means women are human first
And gendered subjects after
It’s a bumper sticker
Not difficult to reason
GATEKEEPER
So here you are
As the cops drive mill workers
Into the last room
You remember your dice and you roll
You fail
But they don’t fail when they roll
Natural 20
GATEKEEPER
You fail
You always fail
You are a failure at life and living
And the Loom lich rises
You face all your compromises
Your failures to stand up for the abused
And disempowered
Now embodied nine feet tall before you
It rips you in two and you
Are forgotten
Swept out into the drains
Hosed off the street
You are forgotten forever
As the new dawn rises
Ain’t no compromises
As the gates are thrown open
GATEKEEPER DIES IN TIME
As the new dawn is rising
GATEKEEPER

The debt economy first reconfigures
The sovereign power of the State
By neutralizing and undermining
One of its regal prerogatives
Monetary sovereignty
That is, the power, the power of…
Destruction/ creation
…of money
It’s the basis of social relations
The making of the indebted man
Governing by debt
Socializing the subject
Anti-Oedipal credit
A decade of lead

The debt economy
Occupies the terrain of the
Political
It uses and exploits
The process of ‘ethics-political’
In order to transform
Each individual into
An indebted
Economic subject
MEASURE
EVALUATION
APPRAISAL
All arise from the question of power
Before there is any question of economics
Whether lawmaker or tyrant
He who holds the power
Is the surveyor of the city
The measurer of the land
The measurer of things
The measurer of Wealth
The measurer of Rights
The measurer of Power
Racialized trans bodies
Neurodivergent minds
That’s who we’re fighting for
They matter
Redlined black families matter
Unhoused students matter
Neurodivergence matters
Your crippling anxiety matters

One Punch Hate Man

SAITAMA is the One Punch Man
He has the power of a right hook… once
All those who line up to fight him
Who does find themselves
Toothless guttered
WHO RISE?
WHO DARES?
WHO ROSE?
The one
HATE… whoa?
PUNCH
MAN
Who rise, who rise
Who rise who m who roundhouse?
And who wrote down
The tale of
One Punch?
Spit tooth
Error!
Second
Punch?
Not found

(Don't embarrass us, Dad)
We used to have fun
Running underneath the sun
The one knee broke and the other
Went looking for his long lost brother
You missed the penalty
Walking
We used to be young
Something to look at bewildered
Half poured beer can
I think I forgot where I am
Sonic middle age
Ineffective sage
I’m too tired to rage
Sonic middle age
Sonic middle age
You’re only as young as your mind tells you
And we’re looking pretty weak
At some age your death is not a tragedy
Inevitability
He went too young
He had a good run
I wish I still could run
Will it be drink?
Will I slip and sink
Fat into the Pacific Ocean?
Me and California
In the Pacific Ocean
Boiling and roiling fatso
See you on the other side
If there is another side
As we burn out & fade away
We end every show this way
Hey, the freeway’s clear
I can make it to there from here
As I fall away
Slip and fade
Don’t embarrass us, Dad
Sonic Middle Age
Sonic Middle Age
(Cough, hack)
(I’m alright)
