speaking of shocking things
as so many people are these days
i encountered an incident in a
subway train recently
that made my blood run cold
a dignified looking gentleman
in a long brown beard suddenly
reached up and pulled his own
left eye from the socket
and ate it the consternation
in the car can be imagined
((Et cetera))
(BTW archy is a cockroach transmigrated from French vers libre poet, Francois Villon and types pithy commentary on newspaper columnist Don Marquis’ typewriter in Lowe case, since he can’t operate the Shift Lock key.)
