Response to online discourse on the Roman Empire
Friends, Romans, Countrymen—
Let me piss in your cup
Full blast for 30 seconds
& shake what’s left out
Shit! I kicked the cup over
(Cheap plastic w/ a Dunkin logo)
& piss is streaming across the
Marble senate floor. Let
Me pick the cup up. My
Hands are on the cup &
In the piss & my toga
Is all stained & this
Is the Roman Empire, fuckhead
