60 Seconds til Midnight in a Tale of Two Strip Joints<\/strong>
\n    Brevity may be the soul of wit,<\/em>
\n    In this moment, Levity is the soul of shit.<\/em>
\n    May the toilets of the world overflow.<\/em>
\n    Disclaimer:<\/strong> the vehicle of language is in full auto.<\/em>
\n 
\nDead-end job requirements in a journal entry-level position
\n  we\u2019re the gross domestic products of our environments
\n  wanting to break in and outshine the competition
\n  circle back the reach around, the train of thoughtless is more derailed
\n 
\nOur broken heartstring theory of relativity
\n  Periodic tabling it again, our half and half-moonlight and dark horses
\n  tidal wavelengths crashing Shadows Over Holiday Innsmouth
\n  committing blue collar crimes of passion of the Christ mass produced
\n 
\nCool cats in the cradle will rock-a-by baby\u2026 cradle and all that glitters
\n  reinvent the wheelbarrow of time wasted
\n  sugarplumb the depths of despair, desire \u2013 depths of Hellbound and determined
\n  at the speed of lightweightlessness
\n 
\nThis is life at world\u2019s endemic, intothewildfireman!
\n  this is your parking lot in life, don\u2019t put a PIN in it
\n  this is to + too = for life, lemondrop the actin a damn fool
\n  this is poetry in motion sickness, at last call of the wild
\n 
\nIt\u2019s your avant garde duty the disagreeable symmetry of overkilling time
\n  to kill two swansong birds with one stone cold killer bee
\n  sleight of handwriting on the wallflower
\n 
\n    I heard it said growing up that procrastination is like masturbation.<\/em>
\n    Well\u2026 how\u2019s about we wave our dicks and clits around,<\/em>
\n    one giant boobypalooza during the acockalypse<\/em>
\n    of a self-penetrating ouroboros, slow the fuck down instead of going warp speed getting     thee to a nunnery.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
