c1, n4: noah
By Larissa Lai
in the desert
i saw my father's shame
i told my brothers sold the pun's fun
a lark for the mark
of ham not cain
blame game precipitates guilt economy
astronomy places stars crossing my southern horn
master's cold shoulder enslaves or indentures
innocent generations to mechanical motion
human checked in middle passage
nantes to neverland
land of the cree home of depraved
From Automaton Biographies (Arsenal Pulp)
