- Crow
- by Nathan Shoptaw
- Sexless fashion has become
- our ethical nature
- Madmen have extra skeletons
- for sale—dirt cheap
- Mass virgin suicides fill our
- minds—hipsters now subscribe to the Journal
- Music has bedazzled us—dare
- we say alternative?
- Sliced-up wrists are being
- washed in holy water—everyone just has to conform
- People are praying with the TV
- turned on—why must we be entertained by others?
- I'm fighting a war against myself
- reality versus emotion
- Evangelists confront the angels
- with their money, stolen off the weak
- They're all looking for a fix of that
- fine green powder from inside
- Huff it all up with your paint fumes
- of glory
- Maybe then you'd have a
- reason to tell your life story
- Be on TV with the rest of
- the saps—jockeys of misfortune
- Make a name for yourself
- shoot the president
- Nathan Shoptaw knows the unmentionable reality of life in this country. He is the gouged eyes, the bruised ribs, the middle finger of defiance.
