Marilyn Manson Ode

                              For Brian 

Much obliged
for the How-to-
Get-Through-High-School-
Guide-for-the-Confused-and-
Proselytized.
 
And ridiculousness.
 
Lay Reverend of
Controversy.
 
prophet of
between the lines.
 
purveyor of fuck all.
 
A generation scraped by
on you.
 
You were the birth
of my jesting
at a small stick
nailed to a tall stick,
horizontally.
