Two Poems by Mark Plimsoll

Psychotics, purged of the instinctual
ability
To reject immoral outcomes and
foresee
The negative impact of behavioral
choices
Lower the price of infamy.

How do I turn the key off
While I can't afford to quit
As long as the youth in Asia
Trudge to the factories
To repatriate bushels of greenbacks?
God's pointed finger backs me
In those my trust
Leadeth to close-cropped pastures
Where once Jesus walked upon the
nuts
Of un-prostated resurrections
Who serviced many Mary's wanderlust
Upon that Indus riverbank
And turned blue as a statue in
the ocean.
Let them in, for once robbed and
robed again
They might shave their balds and
offer rice to travelers in airports.
