The Burn Rate

Tax combustion flavor surge in big Egypt
you live the life
and pay the price

A clear stream of pure water
runs down hill
men fire at trees

The natives are fucking restless
in Aptos
and other intermediate burbs

Why should I invest
in this poem
when others consume fewer endorphins

It uses itself up
ceaselessly
gently down the stream

And out
into Guanabara Bay
