Censors are interior

when we are writing

in the face of that judgment

and culture of white males

—Adrienne Rich

Drop some potatoes in the crock pot. Drop the kids off at the pool. Drop an anchor. Drop everything and drop a deuce. Get something down on paper. Liberate the brown trout. Drive out the prairie dogs. Let the turtles loose. Ride the hoop. Use the great, white telephone. Make a deposit in the porcelain bank. De-bulk. Download some software. Unload some timber. Cut a rope. Glass the surface. Blow some mud. Push a mess. Bomb the bowl. Unloose the caboose. Crimp a length. Curl some pipe. Lay a brick. Pinch off a loaf. Grind the beef. Reverse a Ho-Ho. Roll a nut log. Park your breakfast. Bury an elf. Lay some wolf bait. Bust a grumpy. Slop some bum slugs. Send a fax. Pollute the pond. Have a sit. Crunch one. Let ‘er rip. Shit your brains out.
