my head is aching


if it's not the deafness in the cacophony

of mendacity and self-interest


it's the misguided morality

that makes the sayer think he's superior


to the mess he thinks he's above...

bite my ass...no one is wholly guilty


or wholly innocent...but we are all culpable...

you are involved even if you stand aside


paring those famous fingernails...

disinterest does not save you anything...


and I know this beyond my power

to do anything right...it makes my head want to explode...


less than I understand and more than I can handle....
