Welcome to ABC University –
Welcome to where the flavor is
We must all become warriors / not just passive beings.
we live in a mutant garden of eden
. . . well-centered texts balance countless multiplicities
We need smarter bombs / to neutralize our enemies
We're a peace-loving / nation determined to be strong.
we're mere pots / simmering under heat
we're basically garbage pits
What appears in newspapers / isn't the actual news.
What are called "opposites" / Are poles of the same
What did Jane Smith really / think of Dr. Livingston?
What I teach is simply a science:
What's at the core of an oni
What produces the night?
What some call corruption / others call opportunity.
What value is virginity / If it isn't worshipped?
What we are today / is but a fraction of what we could be.
What We Gradually Learn / are new ways to create
What would it feel like / to be a fraction of a hair in length
. . . wheels with / in wheels mov

Whose hero was Hirohito Hironomiya?
Whun I want it / she's too buzy / err simply not in the mood.
Whun I wus groovin up many yuurs ago
Why be a guru / if you can be a super-star?
Why be captive to your dreams
Why do so many Americans live in cowboyland?
Why is it I dream of nuclear explosions in many cities?
Why mourn for those / mutated into mannequins
Why worry about death
Why should a few black strands / of wistful hair
Why should we bother to love anyone?
Will our future heirs / be macho mutants
"Will you eat I me?" / I asked politely
winter does not matter / for those whose hearts
Wired with filaments of steel
With bottle of wine / I float through rivers of time
With needles like / miniature sword blades
With poems which had the symmetry of powdered snowflakes
With proper symbols / the appearance . . .
with stainless steel scalpels
With the right neural implants
With you my birth was effortless
With 10 Minutes a Day To Perfect Teaching you'll learn
Words are only the beginning / action also counts.
