Right
(After Brathwaite)
It may have been the bloodiest day. What is this? The mess. A man. An accident?
Headline : A man with the brown British Knights was beheaded near a chicken and waffle diner in Nebraska. His soft flawless cheeks smushed down in a hailed upon puddle. A neck. Cold meat. A Bela Lagosi Complex. A Starter Jacket placed in a penny jar 1000 miles West. A clip and clip. No interment. An expert. We can never bury evidence.
Studies: History seduces men
The Origin of the Horse's Mouth
The Doctor on the Quiet Man : We cannot speak for the benefit of this headless man--junior. His ineptitude is evident. His silence. A speech excavated extinct. An argot invented automatically. A right. His rite is as perverse as birth.
