I begin with a six letter word for paradise You three letter off of the 'H' a garden utensil I, bored, glass-pipe -- Flipping through Satan books Written by uneducated new-age-hacks (Like about 80% of the idiots reading this - - Currently, because of the intriguing title.) From beer to wine to joint, no point I have a sore throat, but still manage to Suck down the table Out of sheer momentum and loyalty To the form -- I might just face first My own dick tonight -- power yoga. I'm writing this left handed, witch One eye on my cocktail, the other in Some other window, user-naming Just another password in a long line Of breached slang and tipped over - - Columns of bad skin and fire. In the end I'll win by 27 points, 33 degrees from the coldest solstice. And after foil-flash, broken bottles, and DUI Maybe you'll use that broom to sweep out - - Your brain, and while you're at it, pick up A six pack for a re-match, and a splash of cocaine Shh...The television set is telling me some really Interesting shit about natural disasters. (fill in the missing line).
