Jason Mashak		HAIKU With my slingshot I shoot dried sheepshit – Chevrolet windows.		UNDERSTANDING WOMEN   Understand a woman? why not deconstruct Detroit, a thousand fires erect it higher in your soul.

		POLITICS   Hitler said we should all die blonde but I support the Dionysian Party since I prefer a candidate like Cassanova over one like De Sade.		21st CENTURY AMERICA (for Casey Bush) I was practicing friarcraft from a neon doorway when Jesus spoke to me From an electric chair in Texas, chainsaw still stapled to his hands After putting his postal-apocalypse kiss on a couple of skyscrapers That cast shadows on the holiest of places, all rights reserved.
		ART OF CONVERSATION First I'll tell you I don't know much about where you're from, then I'll tell you everything I do know about where you're from, several things you've likely not considered. Already you'll be stunned.  But unaware how fluidly I ask questions that keep me talking while you grasp for answers. Drunkenness is your best defense, for with it – mine or yours – I cannot steer you. Yet I can still blow smoke slowly into my own eyes burning and rub them to make you think I'm vulnerable. In the morning hung-over you'll have coffee, try to remember what I said and call your psychiatrist – collect.
