He wanted America
but all he got was
the primal screaming
in the blackened wasteland
of the heart of the
dirty serpent arising
in slow coils out of the
bottom of the Atlantic,
turning ever counter-clockwise
in unimaginable depths of
heavy, heavy water, screwing
itself even deeper into the
black super-heated magma of
annihilation without end amen.

He wanted America
but the dragon of seduction
hated the light and it wouldn't
let him out of the hotel.
