13,873. NOW'S THE TIME

NOW'S THE TIME
By the long end of a short life
I was quite crazy, and it drove
me insane. Every rule and every
code I'd broken : Sodom and
Gomorrah, murder, death, and
infamy. Like Onan spilling his
seed upon the ground, I was
cursed? Trees withered at my
touch. The passing sky turned
black?
-
Tentacles of law seemed reaching
everywhere; edicts and warrants
and documentation all attesting
that I was doomed. A foreclosure
in the campground took my dirt 
away. My nerve-endings were
set for steel, rigor mortis already
setting in.
