one from the age of subtle atrocities




living close to water
and without fear


living alone with the
wife and the secrets


small failures mean nothing
in windowless rooms,
small victories even less


look


it isnt a story,
but an idea


man locks his daughter in
the basement when shes
18 and then keeps her there
for 24 years


rapes her


fathers her children


signs deals for the movie,
                             the sequel,
                             the video game


considers god like you
would a second helping
of dessert


considers dessert


all of these choices to
be made while the crows
gather outside your
                              door
