  1. jester,

    rob initially blamed me because I was standing next to him when he found the eggs. Great jest, jester. Rob, you are a great sport.

    Chicken, did kens drive his goat by way of some south slope side streets on the way to taking you home? He likes to show off my house to PLUSAs.

    Antichrist as a Child

    When Antichrist was a child
    He caught himself tracing
    The capital letter A
    On a window sill
    And wondered why
    Because his name contained no A.
    And as he crookedly stood
    In his mother’s flower-garden
    He wondered why she looked so sadly
    Out of an upstairs window at him.
    He wondered why his father stared so
    Whenever he saw his little son
    Walking in his soot-coloured suit.
    He wondered why the flowers
    And even the ugliest weeds
    Avoided his fingers and his touch.
    And when his shoes began to hurt
    Because his feet were becoming hooves
    He did not let on to anyone
    For fear they would shoot him for a monster.
    He wondered why he more and more
    Dreamed of eclipses of the sun,
    Of sunsets, ruined towns and zeppelins,
    And especially inverted, upside down steeples.
