My brain has foetal alcoholism syndrome/ my

Fritz Hamilton

My brain has foetal alcoholism syndrome/ my
mommy was drining vodka & arsenic every
day when I was a futile foetus & eating chocolate

biscottis dipped in rat poison/ it took two years to
claw out of her womb & then I was crucified
beside the devil, as Jesoo stood by & laughed/

Jesoo even leant his nails to be driven into
my bellybutton/ my belly pops & releases the
furies/ I chase them with my fly swatter, but

there are too many of them/ they tie me down like
Gulliver/ I’d join them, but there are too many
strings attached, & my mommy will not

cut the cord causing discord/ I play the guitar causing
more dischord, making
                                    an ass out of Stravinsky, as

Lichtenstein creates Warhol, &
                                    the soup cans are filled with
blood, & Norma Jean looks down from her

canvas with dismay & Spielberg spills
ET out of a soup can getting Sgt Ryan saved by
the bite, & Tom Hanks is up to

hanky panks as Ophelia floats
down the river in a kayak with Hamlet in
hasty retreat &

not even John Wayne can
do a thing about it, even
if he was an All American at

USC, & Hemmingway was a
2nd string tackle at Oak Park
High School & blew his brains

out with his daddy’s
shotgun in Ketcham ID, &
that’s the importance of being

Ernest, & I reenter the
womb like everybody
else to become the

NOTHINGNESS of
the earth ...
