Dungeon Majesty



Devastina
barbarian mistress
tougher than a troglodyte hide

two headed battle axe
cleaves skeletons in the musty caverns

rage as you do but 
careful around Mystika's
classy skinny skeleton slave
Boney M

Mystika--she takes life away
just as easy as she gives it
and her clothes are woven
with spidery silken threads
made of mystery
and darkness

a very
necromantic
kind of lifestyle

a beast nearby polymorphs into
Shakuntala, half elf
warrior child of two divorced worlds
she wills upon her foes a natural disaster

she does whatever the fuck she wants
because she is--I am pretty sure--
chaotic neutral

over her shoulder Latiza sends
2 x magic missile pow pow!

you said you go to wizard school?
psssh
double magic missile is in Latiza's blood
a part of her body as much as her beguiling
blazing eye balls

these four vanquish foes so bad
every night the dungeon master
weeps himself to sleep

majesty of the dungeon;
matriarch rulers of fate
you may pretend to roll the dice as though it were your master
but you bad-asses are not fooling anybody

purikura girl



purikura girl

transcends something
every time she
goes in
the purikura

how do we collect
this stuff
even though
we are the ones
who make it

create
a perfect
capitalism











s
pider queen

hatchlings in the lair

deep underground

dear reader,
I know what you are thinking but
her lair is extremely
well decorated

spider queen has the keenest
s
pider sense

also
the keenest
shar
p spider mandibles

spider queen every day
your dark elf s
pider minions
engage in a never-ending war with the scientists over
who will control
all humans

I ho
pe it stays that way because
there is no good or
evil in this world
only
spider queen


ggggg


huge red emeryville electric E
burns in the night

I follow it home
down wood street past
the burnt out train station

burnt out train station once
MC Hammer did a music video
inside of you but now
you are as old and greasy as
an old crow

your wings have been clipped,
burnt out train station and
people build condos in your name because they
hope you can spin in your grave fast enough
to power all their units

now that is
sustainable

MC hammer
tried to hire all his friends but
he could not keep it up
& now he is
broke

burnt out train station
I wish you could fly but
I would never make you wings
of wax

time to


go out to the field and
gather the worms
close by




time two

the next time it
was not as good as the
first time

usually it is
this way




times two

every week we did
the multiplication speed test
everyone had to
do it

I came in last
every time

this embarrassed me

I think
I went slow because
I could not concentrate
and I could not concentrate
because I felt embarrassed

also--
I was not fast at my
multiplication tables
& that did not
help

still we had
to do it

most things
were this way




two times

I watched as
two times he
hit her

it took four before
I could come back to my body




old timer

I shouted to her out
the car window but she
was hard of hearing &
in the middle of
talking to
whoopi goldberg

I looked back and I
noticed whoopi
standing right
there

whoopi probably
thought I was yelling
at her




old timey

noah would say this
a lot he
liked it when stuff was
old-timey




old times

stuff is not like it
used to be but
I can not remember
exactly the way it was

some white guys
feel oppressed

really, though
we are jealous

jealous because we are
swimming in the guilt
of what it means
to be who we are

the more you try
to ignore the guilt
the tougher it is
to live with it

do you
live with it?

maybe if I start calling myself
"oppressed"
it will go away











one last one before sleep


i can not believe
i fall for your cheap tricks,
john darnielle

you are like groucho marx
if groucho was sad
instead of funny

still I feel the way I do
when I hear you
on the stereo
at 1.38 AM

lisette and vivian outside are
arguing about a lighter

i dont mean it as a joke but
i just had deja vu
