FOUR MILLION DEAD IN OHIO

For now. For all time----/Inventing insane smile-like expressions/In a sad town/Upstate from forgotten capital city/Counting empty cans and bottles/Of liquid quick death/Oh-so-legal in the four corners/Of this one-room/Sameness!/Pointless!/Fabulous! [2005]

Now!

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the issue of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
