-Failed Attempts to Enter An Opium Den-
Sprinkled rays of Morphine jitter
drip from their green pores like slim.
An umbra of heated chemical surrounds their
twitching bodies,
a halo laced with ecstasy.
They scream, then laugh, then
all fall down,
never reaching in.

-The Ankou Gallows-
They come and watch the swaying man
fall back and forth between the moon and the sky.
They sit and giggle as he weeps and wanders
through the vastness of death.
They sit and giggle and watch him
choke
on eternity's
demand on patience.

-Uzumaki-
Black hole in is
streaming out
in luminescent swirls.
Ticking tocks and ticking bombs
go rushing by
into the folds of oblivion.
Japanese vortex
takes our necks
and twists till pulp is clean.
Japanese vortex
drinks the juice
and fate and time lost being.

-In Communist Russia, Phone Calls You-
Ding-dong
sing church bell
Squeaky squeak
call mouse
Vroom says motor
Move says man
Clickety clop
says pony
Jingle ling
say choir
Clang bang crash
shout kitchen
Ring, ring, ring
say telephone
But KGB say
'Don't listen'
