Emily's Lament


"Death the Surveyor Viewing 
the Country Surrounding Amherst"
chemical marker on copy paper
by Ulysses Poe














"Because I could not shop for Death,

He bought Himself a shroud.

Because I could not mop for Death,

He gamer chars allow’d."


"Because I could not bop for Death,

He blew in cooler style.

‘Cuz I could not 'chop-chop' for Death,

He whisper'd, 'Sit awhile.'"


"I could not agitprop for Death,

so He said, 'Stick to facts!'

I could not play the fop for Death,

so stall'd till second acts."


"‘Cuz I’m no Zinken Hopp for Death,

He let her channel me.

One can’t do shit in Amherst, Mass,

alas," pouts Emily.
