Michael ThibaultRomeo Jihad Love Jihad is on the loose and getting VIP treatment. The Flirty Fishing of the Family International afflicts the world's recently deceased with a Terminal Erection; Angel Lust. In a ninth century Hadith, Ibn Majah tells us that "The penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal." Under a Mulberry Tree, some years earlier an erection of sorts called passion an excuse for its own faults and bringing death to young love in the name of opacity locked the stable door after the horse had been stolen. Dodi and Didi Tunnel of Love gone abroad for news of home found themselves one Royal Family from timely death. But conspiracy, like idleness, becomes industrious towards evening and Advertising is the mother of Commerce so When the Reptilian Elite discuss fluoride and water near ripe fruit stacked tall and true sings a travellers song that goes: Bush did 911. -Sean Fabi, 2016 Justin Swinburne (b. 1985) lives and works in Los Angeles and Berlin.
