--------------/I Can't Quite Flee Sodom For Some Reason
Scolding air, stinging sands assailing human hands
as you cover your eyes
cyclones of rocks and dirt
dark clouds with sapphire trim, chasing the
vanishing sun, the boorish moon rising: molten lava center
plunging birds, animals of prey scowling at the skyline
running
everybody running, the crest of human anguish
damned souls giving voice to their innermost grief, by wailing
macabre ambient noise
toppling stones falling on flesh melting
a town charred and the regret of God like thick
grey smoke ascending back to the moon
that stares back motionless and expressionless,
effulgent rays of incandescent incineration!
It all started with Jennifer D (I never really got over her)
she was my angel with green eyes
then there was Meghan, then Audrey, then Ol**,
the girl in red, then Agent SS
then you, J*ne…the girl who killed my summer 2010…
such beautiful women adored and cherished
like a father esteems his daughters
brought into the hearth of my heart, my home
I was desirous to sup with them, on bread without yeast
but out of the perverseness of my heart
I would have let disregard and spite, a very dim husband
sacrifice them
to the despicable old and young men
all because they didn't love me back
which didnt portend well, because we all knew by then
the end of our shared possibilities was near
And now its time to leave
and now its time to let them go
for I think Im in love with *****e** **
this indomitable woman Ive come to know
that wont let my mind rest, even at night
until the next appointed time we rendezvous
(though every guy I know loves her)
and Im trying to relinquish control of my former emotions
but I just cant right now
*****e** ** is like two heavenly hosts pulling me
away from my frenetic past
I wont let go of
(squirming along the way)
yes all those girls hurt me and yes Im still pained
but Jennifer D is so sexy
and J*ne has an anatomy to die for
(and great taste in rock music)
they may be Sodom and they may be Gomorrah
but please understand they are all I know
salt
(I don't know what its like for a girl to actually love me back)

Genesis 19:14-26
So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished." When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!" But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please! Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die. Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn't it? Then my life will be spared." He said to him, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." (That is why the town was called Zoar. By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
