Bouncing Against Injustice

by Tavo Scott
bio/email
June 27, 2005
I am a beach ball
You bet your balls
Round and colorful
inflated and plastic
I piss you off at concerts
I lure you into the deep end
drown you, dumb fuck

I am the Hungry Hippo
I eat your marble
always eating your marbles
until I am the victor
and your Hippo starves
thin and dessicated
fat-ass Hippo

I am the guitar of humanity
strumming the tune you dread
thundering power chords
while you pick your notes
shredding my own neck
wavering my whammy bar
solo, bitch!

I am that beach ball
hate like a beach ball
malicious like a beach ball
bouncing through the system
Rat-a-tap against the man
Tap-a-rat against the establishment
like the beach ball of justice

and I'm telling you for the last time,
old man in the gray house and fenced yard
I want my beach ball back


Milestones
2003: The infamous "Battle of the Bulge" breaks out at when office wench Ivana Folger-Balzac mistakes Ramrod Hurley's beerbelly for a birthing alien larvae and sets into the Acting-Editor with a can opener. The skirmish and resultant standoff lasts 18 hours and claims the lives of several Crochet! magazine staffers, for whom the commune observes a moment of near-silence.

Anyway, pay commensurate to experience. Must provide own mask, axe, electric chair, whatever floats your boat.

Brandy is dandy and wine is fine but liquor is quicker and vodka divine. Gin makes you sicker and slows down your ticker when you pull down your knickers so more freely to bicker. Thunderbird is a wonder, stirred and Night Train ... (5/9/05)
