chariot

elvis depressedly

the chariot swung too low

hit the ground and spiraled out of control

i saw an angel dashed on rocks and snow

now dying of a broken spine

the chariot swung too low

people gathered 'round to take photos

and tell their stories to the evening news

while their children rot in a classroom

the chariot swung too low

last night i met the antichrist's publicist

he told me that a manger is for feeding pigs"
