Happy New Beer!
Just as crusaders once cried "Saint Michael!" to invoke their patron, so do we cry to invoke ours. And he does come, golden like a kwitis tail, guided to the bottlefield by the torotots of war.
Of course we celebrate. In fact, we not only cry gold, we even whine white and red. And as we feast and debate on whether or not tomatoes are a legal candidate for the dozen, we only look at and only listen to how people have worked fire this year: into p5 rockets, into p250 Judas belts, into p500 Dragon's Shooting Stars (tm?). And we revel, for we have saved much this night (tm!).
All breaks loose when the bell finally tolls: cars and cardboards scream in discordant unison, cloth is suddenly down with chickenpox, and children turn into kangaroos. Everyone must participate in the ritual; rodents, despite their small size, are nevertheless difficult to summon.
After the revellion, the air is thick with soot. So much soot, in fact, that if you listen hard enough, right before he goes to sleep, you can hear Dad's old lungs sigh.

Braindump 3
Lets face it, people are a drug.Braindump 2
RHYME CAN ALSO BE SPELLED AS RIME
My muse
My princess
My myrrh
My incense
My fault
My wrong
My mantra
My song
My throb
My ache
My wave
My quake
My sweat
My blood
My stone
My mud
My rose
My thorn
My halo
My horn
My thought
My breath
My life
My death
Braindump 1
SILENCIO, DISTANCIA
Your silences come in
Fathoms, kilometers, miles
That even the waves of my loudest
Voice cannot walk
The ¡DISTANCIA AMIGO!
Of the pasts, on the rear ends of
Dieseled oracles, screams
Into the pupils, now crying
From the soot of
Extinguished heart(h)s

Since Bob Ong once wrote about how we seem to be fixated on drawing human penises on restroom walls
Of course, one could conduct a thorough analysis of the handwriting and handpick the culprits, but of course nobody has the time and the effort to do this, not when there are so many more problems in the world to attempt to fix and maybe even procrastinate about along the way.
This is why you will never get caught after you finish creating your statements, opinions, philosophies, illustrations illustrious or not and whatnot on the public's porcelains.
This is why graffiti is the perfect crime.
