Day 203: Rejection Sonnet #2

Drink wine and publicize the verses, please,
says Desperado. Hell, you ain't some kind
American.  In fact, we're second-guessing
if meter's been abandoned. Here's a beat--

now carve a god.  You'll need your own Osiris,
three-story smokestacks (phony), lines of meth,
never stressing, then stressing, then a turn
to a chatroom close to you.  The lols enjoy

blown unknowns, maybe hazy quarries, lots
themselves, rich until the bill comes due.  Lost, he's
not dead, but first among the other sirs:
a sample blueberry epistemology

from holy pistols. Then he rides the dead
through dust and knacks-knicks. On my desk, he picks.
