there.

rewriting landscape.

 

Donald Illich

Furious Sister

 

I was destined to be a sister,
dying and realizing that all things

would be OK in heaven. It was just me,
I messed up with the drugs, wrestled with how

those pieces fit together. Death came as
a shock. I got detention for a week.

I always stayed a soul fan, never received
the drugs. I was fatally shot on the porch.

I kept thinking about these disappeared
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, wishing

I could have combined male fantasies
(hot cars, hot women, hot action) into a

life that offered them an escape from marriage.
I left innumerable friends and fans worldwide.
