Für Elise – Isaac Offski

November 20, 2025

When I wanted to I couldn’t
I hung a rope inna closet like the Kung Fu guy
I turned onna oven but the element just too Hades hot
scorched my neck
Syvia P had more guts than me

When I had to, when I needed to
wasn’t no high enuf bridge
no deep enough hole
no snake-bit carny tent

Before my sissy got took
she used to practice Für Elise
onna Casio ToneBank
I shoulda done it back then, maybe
I wouldn’t a lost her forever
that way-

to some de Sade wannabe
growling a white deadbeat van
to the DMZ
to the UAE

gimme a wish, into a fucking tree

 

 

Waymo

Waymos float by driverless
Nobody behind the wheel sleep deprived wasted on powdered elixir of capital gains
Screaming on the cellphone soon to be homicide scenarios
Lost daughters to black market necromancy
Lost minds to stock exchange purgatory
Purposely drifting anonymously reconnoitering
Like dogs not discriminating between celebrity & destitution
But Waymos
Demand plastic assets
Faceless digital telepathic cloud specter agent provocateurs
Onna beeline for the bank
To the shopping mall
Near Central Park with the fountain
That went dry
Back when nobody remembers
Unbottled water

 

Gnashing Jung

She’s going through grandpa’s record collection
Pulls out Black Flag & the Stooges
“This is what I listened to this morning”
She’s super hot
I imagine her doing porn with ol’ Uncle Eye on a heart-shaped bed riddled with bullet holes
with kittens climbing the plush headboard & hummingbirds probing various orifices of their spasming bodies
Instead she is just a girl on a Instagram feed
“Here’s CSNY’s Déjà Vu, you can even see how somebody’s used the back cover to do lines of cocaine”

 

 

Y2K Baby

Momma momma Becca
Did Daddy do ya inna
Poop shoot ta make me?

You can’t say shit like
I’m gonna douche your mouf
with granddaddy’s dirty diaper
this day n age, meanwhile
The Commander-in-Chief
threatens to shoot somebody
in the 5th Avenue NYC face
Broad daylight n get more
votes than the population
of France but you’re telling
me I can’t say I want to
rape you with my nose
