On your Face,
and Wounded Knee,
HeathenFidel!
Furthermore: wear a Mask
while you’re at it!
Someone once asked me
an innocuously irrelevant
question: “Who is the best
post-War American
novelist?”
I answered — quite Clare
quickly–“Kurtladimir
NabokovVonnegut.”
That certain someone
then called me — quite
clear Quilty — an “Asshole!”
Of all the shocking things
I was then told
that I should stop
“Playing with words!”
and start paying attention
to the signs on the walls
all around that no one can
read because of “Community
Standards!”
Community Standards,
Asshole!
Now: On your Face,
your Wounded Knee…
