A '67 Penny

Let me alone?
You’ve done nothing but
Let me alone.

How boring it is!
Indeed, how uterly
Disillusioning.

Silence and solidarity are
Duller than a ’67 penny
In a murky gutter.

These are not
The pursuits of the Great
Or the Glorious.

I seek wild fear
And shouting matches
And fits of laughter.

Give me hysteria or
Give me death.
