What Rough Beast | Poem for September 30, 2017

Zachary Taylor Knox
(increased saliva)

basic shake and bake recipe
make laws to follow to protect
ourselves from the people that
break them and also make them
while sitting in the appointed national,
state, or county seat but that’s just the nature
of yeast it can produce a craft beer

with a quirky, unique name or it can
give the crotch a nice full bodied smell
that reeks of moby dick’s personal pan
pizza left inside davey jones locker
with that bitch betty crocker for at
least a week
