191. sheep in ermine
it’s OK to spit in the face of fate
and the face of the girl if you long for death
so throw the dice & walk the streets
boys
and happen you’ll make it to men
cosseted in those honeyed
gargoyled cloisters for imbeciles
that pass for seats of learning
& dish out one way tickets to OBEs
and other empty gestures for hominids.
