MY HERO



C Ra McGuirt





when i was a kid,
i thought rasputin
really fucking cool.
i mean, goddam:

they poisoned him.
he didn't die.
they stabbed him,
& he didn't die.
they kicked him down
the cellar steps,
& shot him. still,
he didn't die,

even when they
threw him in
the river,

& as he sank
through the ice,

he shook a fist
& cursed them

as he finally
died.

of course, this
was all before
i found out that
rasputin,

all three hundred
ugly unwashed
unrepent pounds
of him,

was screwing
the czar's
old lady,

& realized
that rasputin

was even cooler
than i'd thought.
